Ask yourself "why do other countries send their best and brightest to America to learn engineering? The answer is because America has the best [post-secondary] educational system.
Americans have many opportunities that do not exist in any great numbers in other countries. In the 60'-70's prospective engineers wanted to be NASA geeks. Now "smart people" can be financiers, researchers doctors etc. Lastly engineering has fallen out of favor because old stand bys like NASA have been cut to the bone. Furthermore, many who could go into engineering are put off with the prospect of going through all that education and expense only to be outsourced for pennies on the dollar.
The cost of building, maintenance, lawsuits,energy bills,school books, security, and other things go up every year too. The cost of educating is far more than teachers salaries and benefits.
Kids are like nails. Sometimes you need a bigger hammer and a tutor fits that bill.
