[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just looked it up.

DCPS gives Janney, everything included, $10k per kid.

It gives CW Harris $19k per kid. And $15-18k per kid to a ton other of the "lowest-performing" schools.

Crazy world.[/quote]

That seems right to me.[/quote]

Actually, it's not.  "Pay" or spend in this case needs to be linked to performance.  Rather than year after year giving more money to the lowest performing schools, how about figuring out why they are low performing.  Maybe the principal is a DCPS lifer who rides a desk and just punches a clock.  Maybe it's the school culture.  Maybe more school security officers are needed.[/quote]

Exactly!!!!

Schools that do a good job educating should get more resources.

Schools that don't should be turned around and, if not fixed, closed. Rewarding failure is idiotic.[/quote]

A school that is all high poverty is never going to do well.  Unless you plan to fix al the crappybparents, violent and transient homes and hinfwr, those kids are doomed to fail. School cannot fix problems that big. Those kids would be better off in boarding schools to give them some stability. [/quote]
