standardized testing scores should allocate funding in the opposite way that they do

schools with worse scores should get more funding because they are the ones that are obviously struggling in some capacity and something needs to be addressed in those places

#like im not saying that standardized tests should determine government funding bc it shouldnt this system is fucking awful and only works #to reward either people who already have money or punish schools that are poor/students who are struggling/students that are chronically #absent/etc #but as it stands #schools with chronically worse scores are the ones that need funding for more teachers/specialized staff and student support programs and #extracurriculars and all that #if a school is doing really well it means that they are good on their level of funding for now and more resources could be allocated to tho #those that need it #sorry had an epiphany while i was doing hw #this would also help combat the school to prison pipeline bc then #these students can have somewhere/someone else to turn to than the streets esp if they or their family are struggling to get by or whatever #but this country is ruled by capital so yknow
