More Money = Less "Education"?

[Jarlaxle]

And how would accepting all students turn a school into a sewer?

This has to be satire.

 

[Correll]

So, you want to force private schools to turn into the same sewers that public schools currently are.

Using the excuse of fairness to sabotage the hopes adn dreams of normal Americans.

So you are calling a good percentage of american kids not normal? Those kids shouldnt get into the school of their choice? I believe all kids deserve the same playing field, not just some.

Could you vague that up some?

"Good percentage"? Is that 3%? Or 20?

And it has nothing to do with "Deserve", it has to do with what they can handle. If they can't handle a normal class room and we insist on putting them in normal classrooms, all they do is ruin the class for everyone.

Are you a teacher? What level? High school or middle school?

Nope.

Perhaps you would enjoy being a teacher and helping disruptive kids become highly successful? Noteworthy job.

I work with a woman that used to do that. She left that hell job because it was not rewarding and she did not get support.

She did get injuried a lot.


My concern is more about the safety of the other children. Their safety and their ability to get a quality education.

America schools need to stop spending money on staff who HARM kids’ learning

If you think more money will lead to greater student achievement in schools, you’re in for a shock: A new analysis of 12,000-plus school districts shows just the opposite.

Here is an interesting but not surprising take on spending increases vs outcomes in the various states. Teacher compensation is not broken out. COVID affects are not relevant as the results are relative, not absolute.

It appears that most of the additional money went to non-instructional staff. In Baltimore city schools there are more administrators than teachers. This is a sign of bureaucracy gone wild, and probably corruption, as politically connected persons wrangle for posh, bullshit positions in the school district.

For what it's worth.

The US's education system is bizarre. Good teachers fighting to teach kids while administrators do everything they can to stop education being good.

The UK has a better system, Germany, Austria and other such countries even better.

They just let teachers get on with it

You should have good teachers with a vision leading, not people without a clue. All such people should be practicing teachers.
