This affirms my belief that the secular increase in K-12 education costs is as much about the increasing share of children who are more expensive to educate (in terms of requiring free/subsdized meals, having various fees waived, needing more attention from specialists) as it is about more expensive input costs like healthcare and benefits for school employees.
People like Krazen complain about schools having too many "administrators" while ignoring that many of those non-teachers are there to address the needs of poor children who the Krazens obviously cannot abide having any of Muh Tax Dollars going toward.
Other than cafeteria employees and janitors, what critical non-teachers are you referring to? Somehow I doubt that the below is a result of needing to hire more janitors and cafeteria ladies:
I'm referring to the specialists who handle various learning disabilities, ESL students and various other learning accommodations.
I doubt that those people are classified as administrators. Regardless, the last thing we need is more "learning specialists" to "help" kids who supposedly have ADHD or autism or whatever because they exhibit normal child behavior.
