So because you don't want to pay more in taxes, you want to force poor kids to go to shitty schools with dangerous kids? Once again, what kind of monster are you?

Why should poor parents who give a damn about their child's education and future be forced to go to school with bad kids? Especially with an unresponsive (at best) educational bureaucracy?
Why are you so willing to sacrifice the future of poor kids?

And those funds were used to educate children. The Board of Ed is riddled with grifters at all levels, a company with basic financial controls and discipline can make a substantive profit educating children. Once again.
The Catholic High Schools educate their kids at 1/3rd and the grade schools at 1/4th of what we spend on public school students.

That's not what a straw man is. You just aren't willing to accept the decisions Parents of Color make for what they believe is the best interest of their children's education.
Black and Hispanic parents want classes where their children are place with students with the same academic level. Black and Hispanic parents want disruptive and dangerous students kicked out of their children's class. Black and Hispanic parents want the school to be able to fire underperforming teachers.
You want them to sacrifice their children to your ideal of a public school regardless if those ideals help Black and Hispanic Children.

Do you think the Philadelphia Public School system was properly educating Children of Color before charter schools existed?

So you don't think teachers should profit off their labor? Textbook Publishers? Janitorial Supply companies shouldn't make a profit off what they sell to the school?
edit: NYC spends about 30K per student. Archbishop Molloy charges 11K per year tuition.

No. terms have meaning. Let's say for example you work for the city, you save up a bit of money buy a building and the city comes to you and says "We'll rent that building from you." Are you double dipping from the city? No of course not.
Now, let us say you are a lazy incompetent worker, show up late, leave early, shoddy results, but you still save enough to buy a building and the city still rents from you? Is that "double dipping?" Once again no.
Now let's say in the rental agreement with the city it's stated that you are to provide handyman and general repair service included with the rent. A window is broken, you repair it, you send a bill to the city for the materials & labor to repair that window. Is that double dipping? Yes!

You are factually wrong.
In NYC, charter school placement is done by lottery. Preference is obviously given to returning students, siblings of students and local residents.
White kids make up only 4% of Charter School Students, the majority(52%) go to private school, with the rest to public school.
20% of Black kids, 9% of Hispanic kids and less than 2% of Asian kids go to Charter schools, which means Charter schools are about 90% Black and Hispanic.
We can easily assume those numbers would be significantly higher Black and Hispanic kids if there were more charter schools.
So just to be clear, you are telling People of Color that they are wrong for sending their children to charter schools.

"Double Dipping" is charging twice for the same service/item. Hotels charging a mandatory "resort fee" is double dipping. This is providing two different services and getting paid for each of them.
You may not like the existence of charter schools (and there's plenty of reasons not to like them), but if you are renting a building to the city, it's not some great crime for the city to pay you market rent.
​
EDIT: This is a serious concern,
>DOE is paying entire cost of the lease rather than per pupil amount, totaling nearly $43 million in FY 2023 – and in these cases, it is unclear if the rent charged to DOE is inflated or assessed at fair market value.

Just to give you more anxiety, Tips are usually split with the Super/Porter/Handymen :)
$50 is more than fine for a young person who's not any trouble.

Right and the best way to care about poor people is to create a housing shortage where middle class people are forced to move to the poor neighborhoods driving up their rents.

Does that make sense to you? You really think that a Billionaire is going to uproot his and his family's life for a 2K tax increase? I mean you can't even get a used Toyota corolla for 2k.
