school districts are often tied financially to this model, where butts in seats equals money
School districts are tied a model where the executives and consultants can make more than the teachers. It's a travesty and it needs to stop.
The teachers hate it because they're getting fucked over bigly.
The kids hate it because it's shit. If only we allocated funding correctly and didn't fuck over teachers (these things are related) then perhaps they could have decent schooling.
Some parents probably like it because "I need my kids in school so I can work my full 8 hours" but is that smart? No. It's not. None of it is.
True. It's really fucking stupid to have everyone working more hours than necessary to do more work than necessary because we have so much waste and duplication of effort built into our society specifically to keep us all too tired and busy to revolt.
