I
find out that I would like to read every news article either is about
education or events that relate to education. I think this is so
important for me because that is about our future.
This is the link for the news article, click here.
This article is talking about OUSD decide to close thirteen schools to balance for the budgets. The affect for change school to school might have psychologically damaging those children. Most of the data in this article shows that OUSD have 43% of schools have fewer than 300 students, which schools don't have enough funding to cover every children's costs. And that become the reason to eliminate 13 schools.
I have two different point of view on closing 13 schools in Oakland. First, from reading the headline, closing school is the worst thing you can do in Oakland, but when you crunch the numbers, it makes perfect sense. It is a really simple math problem, reduced student enrollment means less funding for schools. consolidate schools will have more money can be provided for each student enrolled. The article appears that the protesters are losing focus on the priority, which is the quality education for students. By cutting down 13 schools, what is the new student to teacher ratio going to be? Have they considered the growth of these areas and the affect on the student ratios? Are they going to guarantee the students have treated equally within a big class rate?? The students won't have enough attentions from teachers if the class becoming bigger and bigger. The main point in here is cutting education to be able to afford more law enforcement will creating a vicious circle that only end up badly.
RIGHT?! What do you think??

Thank you for paying attention to the ongoing tragedy of the Oakland school system...It's crazy how much of this city's budget goes to law enforcement and how little goes to schools and other programs that, if they were legitimately funded, could PREVENT tons of the stuff we pay cops so much to scrape up afterwards. Also, California pays about $50,000 per year per prisoner, and only about $5,000 per year per student. Does that make sense? (My numbers aren't exact, by the way, but it's really really bad.)
ReplyDeleteWOWWOWWOW!!!!! The money that Californis spend on each prisoner is 10 times of what they spend on education. That seems to me that they think prisoner is more important than children' education.
