对华府公立学校的审计显示,尽管学生入学率增加了2.6%,导致每个学生的开支增加了43%,但五年来,教职员工增加了19.5%。 An audit of D.C. Public Schools shows a 19.5% rise in staffing over five years, despite a 2.6% increase in student enrollment, leading to a 43% jump in spending per student. 巴尔的摩和美国各地也出现了类似趋势,学校增加了121 000名工作人员,但少为110 000名学生提供服务。 Similar trends are seen in Baltimore and across the U.S., where schools added 121,000 staff but served 110,000 fewer students. 批评者认为,这些增长无助于提高学生的成绩,而学生的成绩仍然低于人口流行前的水平。 Critics argue these increases do not boost student achievement, which remains below pre-pandemic levels.
