SGOs exist so that teachers can be assessed on student performance

And how is that going?

Also what about my point on parents involvement.

You can build fancy buildings, have a strict sgo process, but if kids grow up in troubled homes or without parent that hold their kids accountable then that doesn’t solve anything.

The problem is much deeper then lack of funding. Throwing money at this solves nothing. Except push out disenfranchised people who can’t afford to live here anymore. Then new/educated families move in. Then test scores go up and we equate it to the funding increase.

That’s not how it works. It’s not a money problem, we’re just making it one

When it comes to parent involvement, you can only lead a horse to water. I have some parents who are incredible at communication and staying up to date on their child's performance in school, and some who can't be bothered to care. I can't force them to be involved.
