[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow Taylor has some serious cojones to do this to low income elementary schools when outcomes are so bad.

And his budget one pager makes it look like he is adding funding to increase equity when he is almost certainly reducing funding for low income schools.

Outcomes are going to be bad no matter what.  It doesn't matter if the class sizes are 5, 10, 20, or 30.  Staffing should be the same as all the other schools.[/quote]

If class size doesn't matter then why do you want smaller class sizes for your kid?[/quote]

Less class clowns per class = less teacher distraction = more attention on rach student.

So the poorest kids with the worst outcomes don't need extra attention but yours do? [/quote]

I am having a hard time understanding the issue with poor families. I come from another country with much less wealth than US. Education was seen as a priority in all families, poor or wealthy. There was a push from inside the family to be be good in school. If one misbehaves, one is disciplined at home. Here we have so much entitlement. If so much money was invested in smaller classrooms, where are the results? How do we have so many failing students? [/quote]

Parents don’t want to parent and want schools to do it. [/quote]

Sure. It’s just a choice, right? Never mind the thousands of $$ in tutors and enrichment activities that some parents can afford while others cannot. Never mind language barriers and parents who may not have an education themselves. They just choose to be poor.

People are not hiring tutors for K-2 in most cases. And plenty of FARMS kids are not EML and have parents who are native English speakers. [/quote]
