Economists Don’t Know Crap About Education
https://www.commondreams.org/views/2018/02/20/economists-dont-know-crap-about-education
His argument goes something like this: the only value of an education is getting a job after graduation.
Businesses only care about school because they think it signifies whether prospective employees will be good or bad at their jobs. And students don’t care about learning – they only care about appearing to have learned something to lure prospective employers. Once you’re hired, if you don’t have the skills, employers have an incentive to give you on the job training. Getting an education is just about getting a foot in the door. It’s all just a charade.
Therefore, we should cut education funding and put kids to work in high school where they can learn how to do the jobs they’ll need to survive.
No wonder economics is sometimes called “The Dismal Science.” Can you imagine having such a dim view of the world where THAT load of crap makes sense?
We’re all just worker drones and education is the human equivalent of a mating dance or brilliant plumage – but instead of attracting the opposite sex, we’re attracting a new boss.
Notoriously bad online charter school in Ohio finally shut down.
Notoriously bad online charter school in Ohio finally shut down.
ECOT, the Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow, an online charter school that most education advocates agree doesn’t teach students worth a damn and has been siphoning Ohio public school tax dollars for years into the pockets of people who Betsy Devos loves, finally closed in January after it couldn’t pay back $60 million in “overpayments” from the State, because they fucking lied about the number of students and how much time students spent even allegedly attending online classes. 
I’ve despised this particular scam for years, and there is great rejoicing in the local educational community, as this story from the Cleveland Plain Dealer illustrates.
It’s about damned time. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
There are just over 98,000 public schools in America..
Scott Dworkin?
There are just over 98,000 public schools in America. If you hired a security officer for 30k a year, that would cost $2.94 billion. Every public school teacher & administrator I’ve spoken to said if there was an extra 30k added to the budget, they’d spend it on books & supplies.
