"nothing whatsoever to do with academic priorities and everything to do with fattening school coffers,"
I'm not sure this makes sense. If a school gets more funding, they can spend more on academic programmes.
I know that when I was in a fairly under-funded high school in the UK, I'd have supported something that would bring in more funding. The school isn't some sort of evil corporation trying to fuck everyone over and give their profits to already rich bankers - they're a local not-for-profit organisation trying to educate kids.
- mhurron 14y agoFunding usually goes to either administrators pockets or to making the system look more impressive with devices that no one knows how to use. Education (looked at as a whole) in the US is pretty well funded, simply throwing money at the problem isn't solving anything.
