  1. Have the state pay its share of school funding. PA has reduced its contribution, and it's had the predictable effect of starving poor school districts by sheltering wealth and opportunity in wealthy counties.

Everything else is less important. But we also need federal action to fund teachers themselves like the critical public resource they are.

>I couldn’t find a well-known city retailer or restaurant that opened a branch in, say, Jenkintown, Montgomeryville, Doylestown or Media. But I’ll bet there’s one out there.

Do you think picking a place and seeking businesses is a little backward? This article clearly picked its lane and then found examples fitting that narrative.

Mignucci's comments are evidence you've tapped into something real to an extent here so don't take this as me discounting your work entirely. Just the conclusion presented and definitely the headline.

This was my worry / my mindset, but all the stories from parents in our catchment have convinced us to stay. At least for K, 1st, 2nd.

All the reviews have been very positive, and I assume it's got a lot to do with the teachers, who've been there a long time. And the parents, who all actually give a shit.
