Schools districts whine about a lack of funding. Who's at fault? Who will be held accountable?

Continually failing school levies play a roll in this, of course... but who wants to waste even more billions on an obviously failing statewide public school debacle?

We dump billions in... but what are we getting for ROI?

When they crammed the McLeary budget down our throats that caused our property taxes to explode, wasn't school funding supposed to be "fixed?" Who knew that the McLeary rip off was an obvious scam?

Massive increases in money without requiring any increased academic performance FOR that money... and getting worsening academics every year since.

Billions wasted.

Further, the reduction in anticipated, utterly unrealistic student attendance projections as more and more parents discover how totally, completely worthless most public schools in this state actually are and either home school their kids or private school them, combined with the costs of horrifically overpaid teachers who punch out semi-literate cretins like movie tickets, might have something to do with it.

If only the unconscionably bad schools of this state, now in many respects overtaken by Mississippi public schools in academics for only a paltry $6000 per student LESS than students that WE pay to have taught... would actually begin teacher accountability.

Our schools are terrible. The OSPI report card is a nightmare, by most schools, most districts and the entirety of this state.

And it isn't funding. Other states are doing far better for far less. And the Washington DC district, which has wasted even more money per student than we do, has done far worse.

It isn't parents. Mississippi school children have parents as well. While our teachers typically blame everyone else except themselves for these outcomes, are Mississippi teachers blaming parents for THEIR outcomes?

Funding does NOT equal outcomes. If it did, Washington DC schools, which are an actual crime against children and among the worst in the world, would, at $31,000+ per student per year, be punching out geniuses instead of their pathetic outcomes:

All students - English proficiency: 37.6% Math proficiency: 26.4% Science proficiency: 13.3%

Leftists riot at the drop of a bong.

But they never riot over how piss-poor our schools really are. Government simply doesn't care.

And sadly, it would seem far too few parents care, either.
