Cannot read the entire article, but from the title, teaser and comments I think I get the idea. Sure, penalize the mayor and the school (district?) board officials, not the actual school or teachers. Make the leaders responsible, not the workers, for the high level results.
- olliej 5y agoSeriously the state government is the entity diving up money, and determining the curriculum, so that is the entity to target. For states that have demonstrated a general hatred for free public education simply reducing funding aids their goals. The correct course of action should be that they get decreasing control over their state education system, the state education system is increasingly run by the federal government, and the state pays back the federal government for the service. If a state actually can run its education system more "efficiently" then it will come out ahead. But if not the students aren't made to suffer - it forces the state itself to budget correctly.
- AdrianB1 5y agoI did not propose reducing funding, but penalizing the people that run (lead/manage) the system. It is like a performance driven salary for them, bad results lead to low or no pay.
