What’s in the list of $140,000 per family? Housing, welfare, Medicaid?
Fun fact: NY spends so much on K-12 education that if you hired a tutor directly to teach 5 kids full time for $100k/year (or e.g. $75k + benefits), you'd technically be undercutting public education https://twitter.com/gabrielsherman/status/1261052779059183617 …pic.twitter.com/Rfh56Oxp19

That’s not all labor cost, to be fair

To be fair, you don't really need the rest if you're not aiming to scale

I have zero doubt the quality of that “education” wouldn’t be worth $25 in most cases.

So what drives this? High cost for special needs students? Bureaucracy? Real estate costs?

From my observation and experience in state dept of Ed, gov't thinks that they need to treat every student and every school "equally"*. Builds inefficiency and waste, especially when every administration changes goals/measures of success. *definition of equal changes constantly.

I wonder for how many places this is true, globally? And how much overhead you'd need to scale it? It seems a reasonable way to shortcircuit the education system, and you'd imagine regulations make it possible SOMEWHERE or other. https://bit.ly/3fQMb2V

Varies a lot by district & by state. Utah, Idaho, Oklahoma each spend ~1/3 what NY does per pupil. National average is about 1/2 ($12.6k/student). Still, there are plenty of places where $40k + benefits is liveable & plenty of teachers who'd take that dealhttps://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1123077339472990208?s=20 …
