Quote:Competition in schools can be a dangerous thing. When students are seen as dollar signs there is little incentive to share resources or strategies that might be beneficial for students as a whole. What happens when school B had too many students?

Also, there is a problem with private schools and charter schools receiving funding because they have the right to kick out students. What ends up happening, every year, around the start of the 2nd quarter is that the private and charter schools boot low performers (but the charters keep the funding since the window for student count closes) and the public school gets stuck with the low performer and no funding. The public school HAS to teach them but the $$$ goes to the business that runs the school that booted them.
