Why is there such inequity in the way schools are funded?

That's a loaded question! States and Districts all fund differently. One of the biggest positives to that is the control of the school system is handled locally to meet individual needs. One of the negatives is inequality of funding. It's so complicated.

It is complicated, as the other commenter shared. For example, some funds/tax monies are allocated to a city as a whole - those funds are divided among fire, police, schools, etc. Areas that need to spend more money on police and fire end up with less money available for the schools. Some areas also get less in property taxes, etc. making funding inequitable...

Property taxes have a lot to do with it as well. In addition to the centuries of socially constructed inequality

I am applying to more positions through staffing agencies as one way to get a writing job. When they tell me the hourly rate and I suggest a few dollars higher per hour, they'll say, "Just so you know, the competition is priced lower than you."

Is this to scare me into submission to charge less so that they can profit more? Or is an employer really not going to pick me because I am priced 1-$2 more per hour than someone else? Wdyt?

Advice needed. I’m leaving an incredibly toxic work environment (admin, students, parents, etc) for my dream job. I already resigned, but my students don’t know yet.

I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.
