Reply to comment by drpvn in NYC public libraries say proposed budget cuts may 'push us over the edge' by King-of-New-York
We spent $28k per students with piss poor outcome. That a private school tuition in many places.

Closer to $38k per student actually.

Thanks for correcting my number. And funny how statistical facts can get downvoted here

Education is expensive.

Other states spend a lot less with better outcome. The solution isn’t that throw more money into a failing machine.

Not really, and it’s not a “failing” machine. But you can go ahead and explain how cutting the budget to an already strapped institution is actually a good thing.

Lol okay I don’t know what position you think you’re in to talk down to anyone Lyft driver. Didn’t answer any of my questions though.

Why do you think I’m a Lyft driver? Because I’m not. It’s easy to find out just by reading my other post right next to it.
As a whole country, our PISA score sucks compared to other OECD countries despite spending multiple times more. And NYC DOE per head budget is almost double the national average while performing in line with the average

The DOE also deals with incredibly unique issues like space and literal tones of thousands of homeless children but go off.
