A great reason to be in favor of "money follows the student" type of school funding[1]. This is one of those policies that I'm unexpectedly in favor of with the current admin. Especially with online education.
The reality is these parents are stuck. Parents in terrible districts are stuck. What incentive do schools have to change if they'll get the money for your child either way?

- maxerickson 6y agoCharter schools have been around enough to make it clear that they don't fix these problems for the whole student population. Individual charter schools may work, but there's not examples of charter schools pulling all the students out of public systems, and guess where the more problematic students end up?
