Why do you think this is? Do you think Arne Duncan and other major figures in public education are making strives towards a more equal education system, or what could they be doing better? jafl4227 https://padlet.com/jafl4227/duak64jq1hmyuroe/wish/1634172711 2021-07-02 01:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jafl4227/duak64jq1hmyuroe/wish/1634172711 With there being such a large discrepancy in the per-pupil spending between states, such as $3,000 in Utah and $11,000 in New York, what implications does this have? jafl4227 https://padlet.com/jafl4227/duak64jq1hmyuroe/wish/1634178113 2021-07-02 01:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jafl4227/duak64jq1hmyuroe/wish/1634178113 With most states in the last 5 years reducing their effort and money spent in schools, what does that mean for future students and educators? jafl4227 https://padlet.com/jafl4227/duak64jq1hmyuroe/wish/1634181483 2021-07-02 01:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jafl4227/duak64jq1hmyuroe/wish/1634181483 Many educators and playmakers in the educational realm have been pushing the federal government to incentivize states to fix their financing formulas--why has the federal government not done this already? What would that look like in practice? jafl4227 https://padlet.com/jafl4227/duak64jq1hmyuroe/wish/1634189098 2021-07-02 01:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jafl4227/duak64jq1hmyuroe/wish/1634189098 With a large portion of school funding coming from property taxes, this results in wealthier communities having more funding per pupil.
