Just want to point out that giving more money to an underperforming school only makes it worse.
- supplied_demand 1y ago==giving more money to an underperforming school only makes it worse.== Is there no circumstance where more funding would help an underperforming school? It certainly “can” make it worse in instances, but there are many reasons that a school might be underperforming. To imply that more resources would fail to help any of those problems is quite a leap. What if the student-teacher ration is 40-1 and more funds allows for another teacher, might that make the school better? What if the school is only open for 4 days due to low funding, might an additional day of school make it perform better? What if a school has multiple disabled students slowing down the curriculum, but no funds to give them personal support, might more funds help it perform better?
