HOW MUCH DO STATES SPEND ON EACH SCHOOL STUDENT
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY IS BEING STOLEN FROM PUBLIC EDUCATION TO ALL THOSE RELIGIOUS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS + K12.COM
This is how they defund public education. The state money follows the kid it doesn't go to the public school. Yet charter school kids can still go to the public school to get special classes - sports / labs / anything they want. Charter school kids don't have to take state tests or perform to grade level or have teachers that have degrees - they can do anything they want and make money. Betsy DeVoss owns a lot of charter schools. Nationwide, preschools and other early education programs spent a median of $11,956 per student, while elementary schools spent a median of $11,849 per student. Middle and high schools spent $11,529 per student and $12,707 per student, respectively. MORE

PARENTS are lead to believe their kids are reading and doing math at grade level when this is not true.

Nightmare IT'S A NIGHT MARE
90% OF PARENTS ARE WRONG!

Parents should ask the teacher if their child is doing well in the classroom and take a positive answer to mean the child’s performance is grade level. Parents, no matter their income or education level, race or ethnicity, ask the wrong question.

They need to ask if their child’s math and reading are at GRADE LEVEL to learn the truth.

The high school graduation rate is over 80%, and fewer than 2% of students are held back a grade. Parents can't be blamed for thinking their own kids are doing well, when they are on par with their peers. America's children graduate without high school level skills. It's a nightmare.

Half of the white students are on grade level in math and reading by fourth grade; the percentages are lower for African-Americans and Hispanics.

HIGHER ED IS A RACKET HIGHER EDUCATION  IS A RACKET!

Inexpensive Colleges With the Highest Graduation Rate

The College Board—the nonprofit consortium of schools that owns the SAT generated more than $1 billion in revenue in 2017

Double major in white collar crime and applied hubris.
Felicity Huffmann and 13 more plead GUILTY to college admissions cheating scam. 4/8/19 and of course prison time “at the low end” of the federal sentencing guidelines range (months instead of a maximum of 20 years), a fine of $20,000, a year of supervised release, and restitution in an amount to be determined by the sentencing judge.

The U.S. system of higher education isn’t the main source of economic inequality in America and making things worse. A big part of the problem is the avalanche of standardized tests students take from kindergarten through high school, a $10 billion industry that drives much of what’s taught in the classroom. At the top of the pyramid sit the SAT and ACT, the generations-old multiple-choice tests that still help to determine who gains entry to top colleges and universities. The SAT is easily manipulated, and you can buy the all the papers you want written by other people.

The campuses of elite colleges remain disproportionately populated by the rich. At selective universities ones that admit fewer than half of applicants — 3 out of 4 students come from the richest quartile of families. According to Opportunity Insights, a research group led by Harvard economist Raj Chetty, children from families in the top 1% of income distribution are 77 times more likely to attend an Ivy-plus school — Ivy League plus Duke, MIT, Stanford, and the University of Chicago than those from the bottom 20%. 

DO THIS INSTEAD DO THIS INSTEAD

Career & Technical Education (CTE) PROGRAMS
Students concurrently take rigorous courses, cultivate career skills, and can earn credit toward a postsecondary credential while in high school. 

Modern CTE programs offer students a greater breadth of knowledge and skills than traditional vocational education programs of the past, giving students more opportunities after high school, whether students pursue post secondary education or enter the workforce directly.

CREATE STANDARDS Creating Standards that force schools to prioritize teaching students how to think for themselves.

Project Based Learning changing the default settings of the education-to-employment system so that it works better for all kids.” Game-based tests that measure prospective employees’ decision-making, adaptability, and critical thinking.

In 2018 more than 2 million students took the SAT and 1.9 million took the ACT. Kantar argues that these standardized tests exacerbate inequality in two ways. Most obviously, they give an advantage to wealthier students who can pay for tutoring and test-preparation courses—or for fake scores, as was the case in Operation Varsity Blues. The other effect is more pernicious. At least as early as high school, classroom instruction is geared to boost kids’ performance on college-admissions tests. But those tests measure what students already know, not the qualities employers and economists say they need to thrive in the future: problem-solving, critical reasoning, collaboration, creativity, empathy.
