Uh, are you suggesting the municipalities should just deny education to the unprofitable students?
Not sure how concentrating easy students would help if you still have to teach the complex ones too, and since the municipalities must provide education to eveyone they can't avoid them like the profit schools do.
- distances 6y agoI think the parent is proposing different municipal schools for easy-to-teach and hard-to-teach pupils. I don't see any way to achieve this politically, ever.
- SiempreViernes 6y agoIn some sense it already exists, the kids with severe developmental challenges have their own schools for example. I guess the real problem is that nobody wants to send their kids to the "cheap" school, which is likely going to be filled with kids from affluent parents because study outcome is to first order just a function of parent income.
- joshuaissac 6y ago> Uh, are you suggesting the municipalities should just deny education to the unprofitable students? I did not suggest anything like that anywhere in my comment. Municipalities have to teach hard/expensive students in either scenario. Based on the article, they are leaving easy/cheap students on the table for the private sector, who can profit from scale and from the students being cheaper to teach. There will be independent schools that only accept easy students whether the municipalities like it or not. The choice municipalities have is whether to run their own schools attracting such students and socialise some of the profits instead of letting it all go to the private sector.
