"Bloated" lmao. I don't think there's a single school district in the US that has sufficient funding
But you see, as he notes himself in the article, the students are under performing. So we should be removing money from the schools to punish them. That will help the grades come up, you see
Unironically the logic used by the same caste of people who keep backing dump trucks of money into the "AI" bonfire when it will never be profitable at its current scale
This is literally the logic used to route public money toward "charter" (private) schools.
I remember that season of The Wire!
It’s bloated because it’s not “their kids.”
To be more accurate it's not "white" kids. 😒
The irony is that the US actually does spend more per capita on education than pretty much any other nation, but only because we've gutted public funding in favor of private providers and schools.
Same for our healthcare.
Our basic services are insanely expensive because we refuse to socialize them like a normal fucking country.
The result is hypocritical conservative headlines like the above that amount to a "NO SERVICES FUNDING, ONLY EDUCATED WORKFORCE" version of the frisbee dog meme.
If you need money to compensate for the tax breaks for billionaires and their companies and money to fund weapons and wars for Israel, you gotta save somewhere, duh!
The private schools the rich gather are prolly are
Sufficient funding and wasteful spending are two separate categories. Because yes every school could use a ton of more funding. But I do feel that a lot of schools have become very top heavy in administrative personnel and a bit light were the actual teaching happens.
