My local taxes say y'all got shit tons of money. The schools just do an absolute shit job blowing it on other things besides walls and salaries for the teachers.

    My state allows you to unenroll your student and take the money towards you home schooling, or charter schools, or other education which is a whole quagmire I'm not gonna get into

    But it's fucking mind blowing

    They get $10,000/student/year and they're cramming 32 students into a classroom.

    $320,000 and the teacher makes $45,000 of it

    Where the fuck is the rest of it going?

    We're getting subpar education - 39% below grade level in reading. 36% in maths. But I would be the bad guy if I choose to take this and "continue the cycle of destroying public education".

    All the bullshit deals with corpos that sell textbooks and videos and online learning programs and tablets. Don't forget the portal subscription to crap like ClassDojo.

    We're in the "poor" school district. Nobody has a tablet. Textbooks are older than the original sin.

    And everyday for at least an hour they jumble multiple grades in the auditorium and have them watch "Whatever is on PBS" today.

    Is that where it's going? Do they just forward it along to the nice schools?
