[quote=Anonymous]It’s that all other social costs are internalized to the school systems. So things that in Europe are budgeted to other aspects of the social safety net here fall to the school district. Years ago after NCLB passed, I read a lot of the research on what it costs to educate a child to a particular standard of achievement. The cost goes up for a low income kid, a kid whose family doesn’t speak English, a kid with disabilities, etc.—and I was shocked by how much more it costs. So every time people complain that DC spends so much money for so little results, I think of that research. You can’t compare it to a location that is largely native born middle class families.
