Persistently underperforming schools are unlikely to change, a new study finds, or to get shut down. Which means we’ve found yet another way to throw even more money at the problem without substantively changing any of the underlying variables.
Although that in itself is, if you think about it, quite an impressive feat. I wonder just how much money can be hurled at schools (currently we drop an average $10,000 per child in U.S. public schools) before either they change, or the burden incites taxpayers, parents, and, yes, teachers (don’t think they’re seeing all that cash, after all) to revolt in outrage.
