Per student, or total? Legitimately asking, because this is surprising to me.
- Gigachad 4y agoHigh performing schools usually achieve their results by kicking out the idiots and disrupters. Not only does this obviously boost averages by removing the bottom results, but everyone else is able to learn better by having disruptions removed. Of course then some public school has to be the one to attempt to educate these people.
- dantheman 4y agohttps://nyccharterschools.org/policy-research/fact-sheets/charter-facts/ https://nyccharterschools.org/policy-research/fact-sheets/ch... $17,626 Per pupil funding (2022-23 School Year) NYC averages for public schools: $32,757 per pupil The only reason there aren't more charter schools is because there is a cap on the number of them. We should attach the funding to the pupil and their needs, and then let the parents choose the school for them to attend. This is commonly referred to funding students and not systems, or backpack funding. There will alway be problems with education - challenges with parents, children, faculty, curriculum. The state can provide funding and provide testing, let the parents choose the school that they want.
