    D.C. Public Schools Spend $30K Per Student; Only 23% of 8th Graders Proficient in Reading

    That is a failure and an indication that the problem isn't money.

    The public elementary and secondary schools in the District of Columbia spent $30,115 per pupil during the 2016-2017 school year, according to Table 236.75 in the Department of Education's "Digest of Education Statistics."

    But only 23% of the eighth graders in the D.C. public schools were proficient or better in reading in 2019, according to the department's National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, tests.

    The old saying is spend on the front end or much more on the back end. DC schools are bad. No doubt. All the ones that can, go to private schools. So you end up with a population of inner city kids from shtt holes. I am amazed at people that can teach in those situations for a long time or even a few years. I learned something looking this up. DC ships all their inmates out to other places. They dont run prisons.

    The answer is to stop spending billions of dollars on inmate programs.

    Of course it is but the same exhausted canards about underfunding will continue to dragged out.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I'm not sure what that chart is supposed to demonstrate. In Stevie's home state of Florida there are roughly 30 students enrolled in public schools alone for every inmate. Surely he doesn't mean to suggest that Florida or any other state spends more on prison than education?

    There's no underfunding of schools. You could have a valid argument that we are mismanaging the prison systems across the country though.

    Maybe he can explain his motive?

    Doesn't look like that.
