The money is distributed in $2417 chunks called WPU's to districts, which then spread that money around to many needs. Each individual student uniquely uses a few bucks in paper. The rest is shared. For full detail, check my blog which is listed in my profile above. The Nuts and Bolts posts from November specifically address voucher funding.

So if the money isn't designed to be taken with the student in chunks then answer this. If population growth stops in a given area and 200 students leave a district then why does the money go away? I am as anti-voucher as they get but I believe your argument is flawed. Good try though.

People keep saying that it's pointless... So now the future is pointless? I'm glad that a scene chick has come out and written in words what the scene kids are all about. Let's not help anything because everything sucks anyway.
Props to those who say to evaluate things and try to fix them rather than throwing a bunch of money on something that won't work.

Agreed!

Pointless for vouchers now, but not for fixing the system. We can find another way.

That would work, but the person that is brought in needs to know something about accounting and be brutal with the leech teachers and administrators. Some people call this the cleaning of the dead weight.

It's all pretty pointless now.... So, hopefully something good comes out of all of this mess.

Or...... You could fix the problems from within the system. It may cost a little bit, but they ought to bring someone in to look at the spending and teachers and see if they could fix it. Don't threaten the education of the kids in mainstream schools.

The only way to fully fix a broken system is to threaten to destroy it. That threat will cause those who want to survive to do a better job. We have been giving too much money to the "public" broken system for over 30 years now. Increasing the money has not changed the education for better, but has made the system worse. Using your logic, we need to decreasing spending in order to fix the broken system. |
