per kid is ridiculous. This is one of the worst things about education reform is that it monetized the kids.

Everyone knows the education per child is not the amount quoted per kid. It is pooled and is apportioned by need. If thousands of dollars leave the school, the remaining pot will be spread more thinly over, I am sure, the higher needs kids who will be left in the public schools.
