BLM chapter calls American flag 'symbol of hatred'

Why do you think some US students should have less money spent on their education than others?

What is your argument against funding every student equally in the US?

Cost of living differences for one thing. I own my own house and property in Texas. What I paid for it in 1998 would only have bought a condo in LA or NY.

Is it smarter for parents to buy a nice house in a low cost state so they have more to spend on their kids or should they be in debt up to their necks and hope for the best in a LA or NYC public school?
 
No we don't spend more per child for school than other nations because no child is funded the same in this country...since US schools are largely funded by property taxes, that has the effect of dramatically showing a discrepancy between students in each state, even in each district.

For example, Utah spends about $9,200 per pupil whereas New York spends $28,200 per pupil. And even within New York State, the per-pupil spend varies wildly, with parts of upstate NY spending $11,000 per student vs. parts of Westchester, which spends about $25,000 per student.

However, almost every single foreign country spends the same amount per student, largely. There are no wild discrepancies in public school funding in every other country like there is here.

So yes, money is most definitely the issue.

n0 money is not the issue and the fats clearly support theat. if other nations spend less but get better results how can money be the issue ,you go ahead and explain that
 
Thanks for the numbers. Now, what is the difference in cost of living between those states?

Cost of living has nothing to do with money spent per pupil.

What does cost of living have to do with educating students equitably? In every other country, every student is funded largely the same...where they live has no bearing on the funding they get. And they universally have better outcomes than we do.

This has nothing to do with educating kids.

It's actually smarter to fund all children the same, and not tie a child's per-pupil spend to the value of the home their parents may have bought.

So you're just going to act stupidly on this thread because you're not a serious person with sincere beliefs.

Really? Is that what you believe? You don't agree that a state where meals cost $10 each must spend more on food than a state where meals cost $2 each?

1000 pupils X 180 school days X $10 = $1,800,000

1000 pupils X 180 school days X $2 = $360,000

You really don't see how Cost of Living affects the school budget? Where did you go to school? Any college?

Leave Bobbie alone!

The poor old geezer spends more time wetting his Depends than he does posting coherent sentences. Please stop being mean to him. ;)

Yes, that is what I believe because every other country largely funds their public school students equitably and evenly.

So kids in the poorest parts of Paris get the same amount of money spent on their education as kids in the wealthy parts of Paris.

Only here are your educational opportunities tied to something out of your control, as a student.

What you are arguing for is a tiered-level of education that is tied to the parents ability (or inability) to relocate to a wealthy district.

Do you see how that creates unequal outcomes? Why do you think kids that come from well-funded school districts generally have higher lifetime income caps than kids who do not?
 
Flynn. There are more. Some aren't even convicted yet. One "hung himself" in prison. LOL

Flynn's crime had NOTHING to do with Trump or the Trump organization. Not surprised that you can't come up with just ONE. :palm:

Flynn's HUGE crime: He pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hell, the Biden criminal enterprise makes Flynn look like an incompetent armature.

how am I acting stupid , you claim money is the problem , I claim its not. I post examples that show we spend more then other nations yet get poor resul
Now as joe biden would say truth over facts . The evidence sure disputes your claim

I showed you precisely how it is, and rather than talk about that, you just ignored it.

You're not going to get the best teachers if you're not willing to pay for them.

You didn't do this, and it's not even true because students are not funded evenly in the US like they are in every other country.

Utah spends about 1/3 per pupil that NY spends, and UT spends LESS than most European countries per pupil.

You're so fucking lazy that you don't even know that.

Sweetie; most countries are the size of medium-sized US states. Try to let go of fantasy and grap reality with both hands. It's a lot more fun than you think. ;)

Those "most countries" you refer to, are able to equitably fund every single student.

So if France can do it, why can't Montana?

I think I know why you don't want all students to be funded equally; you want to keep certain people trapped in their socioeconomic status because your status is threatened if they have mobility.

It's always personal with you people.

You think a lot of stupid shit. That's not what I want.

Well, that's what your argument leads to...unequitable outcomes for students because if all students were treated equally, your status is threatened by their mobility.

So you can't feel special by sitting on your high horse if everyone else's horse is also high.

When you stop lying about me, let's pick this up again. Meanwhile, I have sane people who don't have their heads up their asses calling for my attention.

Good luck! :thup:
