When education activists invoke the phrase "fully fund" when advocating for increased student spending, it assumes there's a value that's less than "full." Yet, the truth is that there will never be a "full" number defined.
@ifihadastick @reason This is the delta of spending against the delta of reading scores over 18 years, right?
@ifihadastick @nycexpatmom @reason The biggest indicator of a child’s success at school is PARENTS. And they can’t legislate that.
