What part of the city budget do you think we should use to fund schools instead?

There’s no magic number but there is no way that ~$35 billion is “underfunding.” People talk about it as if it’s draconian austerity. That’s ridiculous.

Do you know how many students there are in New York City? It’s like super easy for $35 billion to be underfunding.

Yes, approximately a million if you include charter school students (which you should because charter school costs are included). So that’s approximately $35,000 per student. If that’s under-funding, I’d like to know how much is enough. $100,000 per student?
