Comments on: WEAC’s “Evolving” Standards http://www.christianschneiderblog.com/2009/03/03/weacs-evolving-standards/ Author, Columnist Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:18:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.5 By: Annette Talis http://www.christianschneiderblog.com/2009/03/03/weacs-evolving-standards/comment-page-1/#comment-96625 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:18:05 +0000 http://www.wpri.org/blog/?p=545#comment-96625 An interesting note about the rhetoric on all sides of the issue is that money is not spent on a “per pupil” basis. Per-pupil spending calculations have a valid use in thoughtful, yet abstract, analysis of expenditure, but the numbers are misleading when used for political hyperbole. Statewide per-pupil spending is likewise an abstraction.

Children come to school for free. Money is largely spent for employees in the personnel-centered public enterprise we call education. There are no “high-cost” children or “low-cost” children. They all come through the schoolhouse doors for free. The public services the public provides and the facilities used for education cost money.
