Heads I Win, Tails I Win
Many school districts across the country are seeing headlines about student enrollment like this one, but in Florida, the response from the teachers’ union is this:
“While we are in this area where we are not growing economically it gives us an opportunity to look at the way we structure our budgets; are we collecting the right taxes from the right people? Are we currently properly funding education?”
So the calculus goes this way: If enrollment increases, funding should increase, and if enrollment decreases, funding should increase.
And you wonder why math scores are low.
