I don't watch sports very often but I follow the business of sports and enjoy watching Drive to Survive. It hit me that American schools often act like the F1 when the groups that are most successful get awarded extra money and preferred starting position while the ones that are struggling are denied funds and start last. Compare this to the WNBA and NBA where struggling teams are given the first pick of staff and a luxury tax is put on teams that spend above the cap. Imagine if the lowest performing school districts were given extra money and pick of the best staff, if students who were below grade level had meaningful summer programs and deep enrichment opportunities. We need to stop thinking of education as punitive accountability and start thinking of parity of opportunities. submitted by /u/professor-ks [link] [comments]
