A couple years back is 2019. I'm not sure you know how schools work but suddenly pumping money in doesn't dramatically increase test scores the next fiscal quarter. I think nearly everyone agrees public schools could use more funding, the debates tend to be about "on what and how much."
- WalterBright 5y agoI looked it up, it was fully in place by summer 2018. P.S. I didn't say "dramatically". I said "zero" improvement. Doing better than zero is as low a bar as possible. I fail to see that as unreasonable. There isn't even a plan for success.
- yardie 5y agoWhat exactly were you expecting? I assume you aren't an educator. Education is a process with a decade long pipeline. Simply doubling the budget doesn't turn into 2x brighter kids.
- WalterBright 5y agoI agree that expecting 2x improvement in a year and a half is unreasonable. But I didn't say 2x improvement. I said zero progress. Something greater than zero should be achievable in 1.5 yeras.
- UncleOxidant 5y agoBut note that 2020/2021 school years where heavily disrupted by covid. Let's take a look back in a few years to see how they're doing, I'm not sure we can make many inferences from the limited data so far.
- WalterBright 5y agoThere's not even a progress report after it being fully in place for 1.5 school years. Nothing at all has changed.
