Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people?
Public schools are run by the local government, so “corporate nonsense” doesn’t really make sense. They aren’t corporations.
School board officials are frequently bribed to hire expensive contractors.
I’m sure that’s true. It’s also not at all related to my point that “schools are run by local governments and so are by definition not corporations”.
No my point is they offload too much to corporations and thus are beholden to the same concerns of those corporations by proxy.
