(This item demonstrates — again — why we need to get comments up and running.)
I understand that the district has to do whatever is necessary to get that $105 million. You can’t just leave that money on the table. But here’s the thing: it makes sense that spending per student would be higher at Booker T. Isn’t that, in fact, the whole point? Classes are smaller. Cellos and pianos are needed. Oil paint ain’t cheap. That’s why students audition to get in to that school. It’s an exceptional school that teaches exceptional students. And so an exception ought to be made.
Thank you, federal government, for demonstrating the law of unintended consequences.
(Wait. That last sentence I wrote makes me glad we don’t have comments. Never mind.)
