Reply to comment by H2Omekanic in Auditor finds BPS data is inaccurate and incomplete, with wide-ranging consequences by bostonglobe

I don’t see how a free market on education would benefit all students. Also, in a true free market no one would get a publicly funded voucher right? If someone has two kids then would they get 20k? What about people who own property but don’t have children do they get 10k a year too? I am not trying to start a fight I am saying that a voucher system is not free market, but I think we can both agree that the funding mechanism is in need of revision. Cutting public education for decades and segregating funding to those that have and those that don’t furthers a fight among the many who need the best education possible.

BPS are a dumpster fire. Philadelphia has been exposed, Chicago has been exposed. It won't be long. I may not have the answer to your problem, but as a whole, the education systems in Massachusetts towns & cities appear to operate in echo chambers. Blissfully unaware of their tax burdens on communities, levels of waste & inefficiency. Boston specifically has some of the highest per students expenditures in the country. The level of waste in bussing has been exposed. Eventually as the economy constricts over the course of your next 2-3 contracts, more waste will get cut out of the system. If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem. Judging by the down votes, I'll assume the latter
