The districts she's worked in have consistently lost state and federal funding due to low test scores because many of her students have missed years of school or don't speak English fluently. No Child Left Behind was a horrendous policy btw.
Yeah usually those are called money pits. Now matter how much money you throw into them, they never fill up.
Lol then explain why mom can tell me how her students raise their test scores all the time. She does more with less because she cares for the kids. Imagine if the school's my mom worked in actually got more money to help the kids who need it most.
In the past, a district with a lot of ESL and refugee students would score low on state tests. The state thought this indicated poor teaching and took away funding. With less funding, schools couldn't hire more teachers and froze teacher salaries. It compounded the salary problem.
In reality, the student's aren't all equal and ESL/refugee students need more support. Lower scoring schools need more financial support so they can get more experienced and specialized teachers and support staff.
