1. What do you do with Special Needs kids? Either those with physical or mental challenges? If a kid had behavioral issues at one school and enrolls at another can that kid be expelled for those same issues? What about the kid who is a little slower than the rest of the class? Are you going to hold up the advancement of the class for them or leave them behind to repeat? You lose that kid, you lose that money
2. Posty hits the nail squarely on the head. It means nothing without parental involvement. A lot of the “achievement gap” can be traced in a direct line to parents who don’t care. Unless you try to fail or move their kid to alternative Ed. Than they care and it’s all the teachers fault.
3. Who are you going to get to teach at these “lower performing” schools? First year teachers? Everyone there is going to be looking to get out. They are going to be taking it as the only job they can find. Not exactly cream of the crop material
4- yes we HAVE been pouring money into lower performing school districts. That doesn’t mean the money makes it there though. It gets sucked up by “Studies” and “Tasks Forces” and another layer of Administration. It certainly isn’t going to new books, teachers salaries, physical plant upgrades etc. No no. That must be “studied” by a “think tank” and then looked over by umpteen newly formed committees.
