Cool, reported for breaking Rule 1

He sounds like Glenn Beck. “Who’s worse - Trump or Harris? I don’t know. I’m just asking questions…”

You better be careful. You’re starting to sound like an agent of chaos. We don’t take kindly to those around here…

Same setup. These new guys deserve far less sympathy though.

Wow, there’s a lot going on here. Thanks for sharing!

All of the numbers appear to be arbitrary, but perhaps they’re backed up by some calculations. I’m particularly interested in how the classroom environment numbers were obtained - 10 districts, 30 rooms, 17 specialized teachers + 1 head teacher per room, and 17 students per room.

I don’t think a single school needs to do everything. For instance, if there are martial arts programs in the community, having the private school offer this seems to duplicate effort. Is the plan to hire those in the community and consolidate everything into one location? Is the motivation convenience for parents? Drop your kid(s) off in the morning and pick them up in the evening - everything educational and extracurricular has been handled by the school?

This sounds like a very expensive school - do all of the funds come from the tuition parents pay? If each student has their own personal teacher (17 teachers and 17 students per room), and they’re paid ~36 hours/week (3 days per week, 9 hours per day), and the school has to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars per student that finishes high school, I don’t know where in the US you would find enough parents willing to pay so much for the convenience of a one-stop all-in-one school, even in the wealthiest areas of the US, to make this sustainable.

If corporations are expected to subsidize some of these costs, it seems that some of the industries interested in early education would prefer to control it themselves, and probably focus on specific subjects (usually STEM), rather than offer all possible subject areas.

I think public school is a good model for educating the vast majority of children - it doesn’t put a financial burden on families; states and municipalities have a fairly well established funding model (depending on the state); there are educational standards that educators must meet (depending on the state). Why not advocate for increased taxes to better fund public schools? Property tax is a common source of school funding, but that means public schools technically aren’t exactly free (families that own a home pay this tax directly; renters probably pay out indirectly through increased rent). If we pass corporate and wealth taxes, that could be better to learn the burden on families, though possibly less reliable year-to-year compared to property tax.
