[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Net net: cost itself doesn't seem to be the cause of high or low school performance. Don't we have more important things to deal with?[/quote] Here's why it matters: something like 2/3's of DCPS budget is outside of per-pupil expenditures. Either: 1. That other 2/3's benefits the schools indirectly, in which case the charters are being short-changed; or 2. That other 2/3's is of no benefit, in which case every student and every taxpayer is being cheated, out of hundreds of millions of dollars. I'll accept the possibility that the DCPS spending advances the goals fo public education in general without benefiting specific schools. An example already given is special education, but it was also shown that special ed could only account for a small fraction of the missing money. In order for this possibility to be plausible, some one has to come up with more valid examples.[/quote]
