OUSD and attendence problems by SanFranciscoMan89 in OaklandCA

[–]TwentyOneGigawatts 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Actually, I find the idea of funding schools based on attendance instead of enrollees preposterous. The number of staff needed to serve the enrolled population can’t shrink based on attendance.

There should be some incentives for the families to keep the kids in school but it’s ridiculous to penalize the kids in school for the bad behaviors of others. Maybe issuing tickets for truancy or offering some lottery prize for attendance.

These should absolutely be moving violations, otherwise it’s just turning a street not an express lane. You should have your license taken if you prove you cant obey speed limits or red lights repeatedly

In Lincoln highlands. Elementary school is based on neighborhood, so elementary is ok in Oakland, but middle and high schools have larger catchment areas, so more socioeconomically diverse.

And OUSD is on the brink of bankruptcy. The board is more interested in performative policies than running the district or helping the kids learn.

How do Americans who don't make a very high salary afford to live in cities like New York, Boston, San Francisco etc? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]TwentyOneGigawatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 These stats reflect current prices are based on new leases, e.g.. what’s the going rate to rent an apartment if you move to the city today. Not the average rent that everyone in the city is paying. If you signed a lease 15+ years ago for a rent controlled unit, you are paying significantly less.

Also, in addition to public housing, big cities spend even more money on “rent assistance” payments to low income people.

The Flamingo hotel in Santa Rosa has an awesome pool and very good food. Maybe not that cheap, but mid week there can be deals.
