It’s like that all over- a crying shame. I remember in the 60’s my parents paid $120 a year in property taxes and it cost $6 a year for public school and we got a really good education.
Those days seem over no matter how much they spend.
Now get rid of tenure for teachers and those that do teach need to be held to higher standard. No more excuses for our failing education system. Time to try new ideas instead of sitting in a classroom all day and learning by rote memory. Education should be fun, interactive exploration alongside the necessary reading, writing and arithmetic. The best teachers engage their students in the learning process. Now that they won't have to deal with overcrowded classrooms that have such a diverse mix of students abilities they will have to perform themselves. Without tenure good teachers will rise to the top and teach- not indoctrinate.
I wonder if there are any stats regarding the impact of illegal de-immigration on the health care system as of late and whether there is a decrease as well.
I hope we learn from the way China's superior academics are presented because in classes the need for kids to get some physical outlets/movement is very much acknowledged as being common sense! And it is so beneficial.
Supply and demand. The more these people leave, the cheaper many goods and services will become. A bonus to remigration besides a lower crime rate.
The county I live in spends a crapton per student and middle school kids cannot read at a 4th grade level.

Me laughing teaching a 7 year old at home in less than 2 hours a day. 4 days a week
Public school is a farce.
Indoctrination into stupidity.
I wish I could sue to get that part of my life back.
What you said!!
It sure is!

Teachers in the family who can't even control their own kids much less teach yours! Its like the most mentally unstable people want to be teachers.

2.5k too many
Teachers are getting that smaller class size they've always wanted!
Unfortunately, the Dominicans in the Northeast seem to be doubling down on arriving and getting food stamps and Medicaid.

It's only taxpayer savings once the fed and State downward adjusts the $ alottment given to the schools. Next budget year maybe?
