Houston is bleeding students and money
Houston is bleeding students and money according to NPR talk radio. if I heard correctly, the district lost 8000 students to date (might wanna check for yourself) with another 6000 loss expected in the coming years. Each student brings in 6k federal dollars a year per student, this equates to a loss of 50 million so far. Maybe this will bring about some brainstorming to improve the monstrous failure of public schools if the so-called experts were doing their jobs correctly, this wouldn't be an issue today, they have only themselves to blame. All that money, all that failure.. SMH

Ruger5 : I wonder over what time frame they are referring to? That's a lot of students. Over all time or just recently? Vouchers? But we all know this system is failing. It's interesting. Countries like China who spend a fraction of what we do, are highly successful….

Ruger5 : 50 million is a lot of money. Where are the students going? Just dropping out or going to other states?

Ruger5 : Unbelievable! I looked into vouchers. It DID pass and starts up next month. Can you imagine what's going to happen then?? Oh my!
Donnawisdom : My guess is self deporting families, drop outs (always a high number) curious to learn what percentage of these losses are parents now allowed school vouchers for private schools.

Ruger5 : I don't think any bc next month starts the application process so no one has made a move yet that would inform schools. 😫

MissAmericanPie : I'll be watching this unfold.
Ruger5 : Hardly bleeding.
It's over crowded as it is.
There are millions of people in Houston and surrounding burbs.
It came in too quick and is a burden on the cities infrastructure and finances.
