Look at how they calculate “average spending per student” to defund education. They calculate total school spending by including things like major infrastructure fixes. Most of the time these are things like removing old lead paint, asbestos, mold, crumbling unsafe roofs, adding ac units so kids dont die of heat stroke. Very basic updates that are largely due to poor planning and crumbling designs. When repairs are factored in, it inflates per student spending well above 10-12k per student when most of that money never helped a single student learn. And even the godamn liberals in my area eat this shit up and lament about how schools have gotten worse because “non english speakers” or free lunches are taking up the resources. People are so easily controlled by these sorts of “averages” and its hurting all of our children in the USA.
