That’s fair. Let’s get more states offering school choice and let the market decide.
My local high school where my kids went. Wouldn’t do that now

“might contact a parent 10, 20, even 30 times to prompt them to complete school-enrollment paperwork.”
I’d file a restraining order against this person.

School districts struggling with enrollment loss are hiring consultants to recruit students,

Once upon a time a pet food company created a new variety of dog food and rolled out a massive marketing campaign to introduce the product. Despite hiring a first-rate advertising agency, initial sales were very disappointing. The agency was fired and a new agency and a new campaign was launched. Sales continued to disappoint. If anything, they fell even further. In desperation, the CEO called in all of the top executives for a brainstorming session to analyze what had gone wrong with the two campaigns and how a new campaign might revive sales.
The meeting went on for hours. Sophisticated statistical analysis was brought to bear on the problem. One VP argued that the mix of TV and print ads had been messed up. Another argued that the previous campaigns had been too subtle and had failed to feature the product with sufficient prominence. Another argued that the TV ad campaign had focused too much on spots during sporting events and not enough on regular programming with a broader demographic. Another argued the opposite–not enough sports programming had been targeted. After the debate had raged for hours, the CEO felt they had accomplished very little. He asked if anyone else had any theories that might explain the failure of the new product.
Finally, one newly hired employee raised his hand and was recognized. Maybe the dogs don’t like it, she said.
If the deportation numbers Homan is reporting are that high, the public school enrollments will reflect that this fall.
Look for the teachers unions to start going hard after charters. homeschool etc..if the enrollment numbers are in freefall
The design flaw in paying schools per head in attendance, on a daily basis, is exposed. If half the students don’t show, particularly in areas of distinct demographics, the school goes broke.
I CANNOT BE THANKFUL ENOUGH THAT I WENT TO A ONE ROOM SCHOOL
This is why schools are so keen on foreigners with kids in America. Big money.
There is a relatively large percentage of the student population in DeKalb, Illinois that seems to be in transition between DeKalb and Chicago on a routine basis. Makes you wonder if the same student is double counted in both districts, sort of like mom voting in both places.
Nah. Just cut funding for public schools and pass school choice in every state.
But never administrator layoffs.
Speaking of skrewls, I’m reading about this from a UK guy...??

🚨BREAKING - The entire board of California’s Highlands Community Charter School has resigned after an audit found they funneled $180 million in taxpayer funds meant to teach adult immigrants English, but the students were fake, the classrooms didn’t exist, and the money funded six-figure jobs for friends and luxury travel. I hope they all get charged and have their assets seized.
