Most of our national problems (unemployment, poverty, systemic racism, closed schools, uptick in suicide, crime, drugs, TDS) are caused by Teachers Unions limiting school choice. Until all of us can say that in public without getting cancelled, we are totally fucked as a country.

Inner-city school districts depend a lot on federal funding. A major problem is the lack of oversight that would ensure the money is used the way it’s supposed to be. Instead of picketed by greed. There is no one answer. School choice is just one of many things that can help.

Many times stares will take control of failing school districts. As happened in the city I grew up in. If we’re going to get serious about education in our country. We have to get serious and have a true dialogue that addresses the multiple issues.

I weigh alot of this blame on the No Child Left Behind Act, in my opinion, the only thing that was successful in doing was making good schools better and bad schools worse.

We spend a sh*t-ton of money on education. We just don't get commensurate results. Hopefully funders of college educations have noticed that their sheepskin-ed progeny don't seem particularly educated or adept at critical thinking...

Much more. But if you look at districts like LAUSD you find that a lot of money goes to pensions and benefits. They roll it into this "average cost per day is attendance" so you have to look at the data and break it out

spending on public education has grown exponentially over the past 50 years and that hasn't done anything to raise test scores or outcomes. it needs a structural change, through more charter schools, which hold students to higher standards, successfully.pic.twitter.com/zum9xqlcB2

More money is spent on administrative costs than is spent for the actual education of students.

The President's budget requests $64 billion for the Department of Education for FY 2020, a $7.1 billion, or 10 percent, reduction from Fiscal Year 2019. Nudge nudge wink wink say no more. Lol

Nope—in Virginia we have a Democratic governor and GA, and are a right-to-work state. Counties are expected to shoulder the majority of education budgets. We are grossly underfunded.
