LTAWACS Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Where are the studies that show that slashing spending on education increases test scores?Don't know if there is such a study but it does seem as if funding for public education has been decreasing. If not in fact then it certainly feels that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 just have to look at historical data. increased spending doesn't increase test scores.I tend to agree with this. Millions more can be spent however, if the home is dysfunctional, the parents thugs and crack addicts or watch too much tv... not much hope remains for the kids. The kids will follow the parents' lead.That's likely why much of hisd is full of thugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our schools are getting cheated by the reductions in per student funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 The only way to help them is through education and showing them first-hand examples of successful people. The Republican route of slashing education funding and reducing investments in their communities will only exacerbate crime and inequality.Unfortunately increasing money for schools tends to go nowhere (teachers unions, bureaucracy, a new press box for the stadium). And decreasing money just hurts teachers overall. Vicious cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
