- @hardlynormal Please stop using that per-person number. It hardly shows the reality of spending on prisons or schools #BlackEd in reply to hardlynormal #
- @hardlynormal: The fact is that Calif. spends $8.6 billion on prisons and $55 billion on schools every year #BlackEd #
- @hardlynormal: The only reason why the per person numbers seen large is because there are more students than inmates #BlackEd #
- @hardlynormal This isn't to say that Calif. spends money well on either one. That's the problem. #BlackEd #
- Calif spends $8.6 billion on prisons, badly, because it spends $55 billion on education, atrociously. #BlackEd #edreform #
- @charterschoolm No, what Cato is saying is that so long as true #schoolchoice doesn't exist, charter schools will crowd out private schools in reply to charterschoolm #
- @charterschoolm Now, not every private school closing is a lousy one. Catholic schools in general have performed better than either charters in reply to charterschoolm #
- @charterschoolm or trad. public schools. But when families, strapped for cash, have to choose between paying twice for education… in reply to charterschoolm #
- @charterschoolm (in terms of both taxes and tuition for a private school) or pay once, they will choose to pay once, which crowds out in reply to charterschoolm #
- @charterschoolm choice and high quality private options. The argument is intellectually sound even if one doesn't agree w/Cato's suggested in reply to charterschoolm #
- @charterschoolm fixes. From my end, it's just time to stop this outdated concept of public education as school districts, bureaucracies in reply to charterschoolm #
- @charterschoolm Public education should be a system of funding the best options for all families, no matter what they are. in reply to charterschoolm #
- @charterschoolm Public education should be a system of funding the best options for all families, no matter what they are. #edreform #
- @charterschoolm It shouldn't matter if the school is trad. public, charter, parochial, online, private #edreform in reply to charterschoolm #
- @charterschoolm So long as the kids and families get to pick the best options for their educational needs. That should only matter #edreform in reply to charterschoolm #
- Children stuck in dropout factories and failure mills shouldn't have to wait for turnaround plans and supermen. #edreform #
- If the school has been persistently failing for decades, it should be shut down. The school is unlikely to ever be fixed #edreform #
- And the kids shouldn't have to endanger their futures because the adults don't want to do the right thing. #edreform #
