Oh, so the solution is to spend more money... Nice.
Isn't it always? Why do I smell another teacher union payoff?
My position on government schools, as far as money is concerned:
If you have a school system which is tops in the state, sending kids to Ivy League schools and winning championships in various athletic fields, and if you say, “Can I have more money?”, you will likely be turned down — the local Police Dept needs money more than you do. Or the Fire Dept. Or Parks and Rec or whatever. You’re doing great. You don’t need more money.
If you have a school system which is failing, with a violence problem, low graduation rates, and terrible scores on standardized tests, and if you say, “Can I have more money?”, you will likely get more money.
The School Administrators, at a certain level WANT to fail. Because they want more money. That’s how they get bigger staffs, more assistants to the assistant, better offices, and better facilities. It pays to fail.
The answer to everything is always “More Money” and actual success gets in the way of that.
The Chuck n Nancy gravy train keeps serving from taxpayer mouths. Some deals.
