According to my anecdotal research, one simple explanation for this (and similar spending in Chicago and LA, without great outcomes) is in part: Our schools do social work. That staff to student ratio has grown in all of those districts, but the average class size has also grown. Meaning, those new staff are often administrators, special educators, counselors, and social workers. In big cities, we've heavily defunded our social safety net, and pushed the work onto schools.
Because of the Nikole Hannah-Jones story from yesterday, people noticed that New York spends more than $40,000 per student. I was curious about the cost disease behind this. Answer: for decades spending has grown +2.2% per year above inflation for multiple reasons. (1/4)

As per usual, if you ask young people to reflect seriously about their experiences in schools, what they share will be heartfelt (sometimes heart wrenching), insightful, and crucial to navigating the challenges of school change.

I had the blessing to have made 2 Short Cuts, one about grieving my dad's death and another on mending my relationship with my sister. This show gave me the gift of healing through my work, an unparalleled experience in the radio world. We need this show. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
