I know from first-hand experience that this is a thing in Arizona.

So you are making up things, just like @absenceovempathy?

Please link to where you did.

I'm going to allow you to clarify this statement- Is this a reference to the Laffer Curve?

Are you familiar with judicial selection in Alaska?

Are you?

No, because your "explanations" defy all laws of physics.

Not on this planet.

Where are you planning on getting that money from? TAXES???

This costs money.

... so she's not cow-towing to the super.

You have to remember that school boards are political subdivisions of a State- they have the powers that are given to them by the State government. Even then, local government may try to circumvent State authority- https://www.fox5vegas.com/2022/03/18/nevada-board-education-discusses-how-force-ccsd-into-compliance-with-state-law/

At many charter schools the principal and the superintendent are the same person.

... and the principal cow-tows to the parents, because enrollment translate to full-time positions. Have you ever taught in the inner city of Las Vegas?

So, should 0.5% be the cutoff?

"There's no way my kid acted up in class." That's what those parents say/do.

Doesn't Indiana spend like 85% of its State budget on education?

Where does Indiana plan on making up the lost tax revenue?

I want to ask you what your thoughts are on this situation: A child was ordered to move seats in math class, because the child was disturbing a classmate. The child's mother (who volunteers at the school and is therefore given more leeway than most parents) comes in the next morning, is let past security, and barges in to the math teacher's classroom before morning classes to berate the teacher for the action. Is that acceptable behavior from a parent?

A feeling of inadequacy regarding their children, and their children's misgivings.

Do you want names and numbers?

Because their kids will do nothing wrong. Yeah, but those aren't the ones trying to run the school.

If parents want to have that much control over their kids education, they should just simply homeschool them. Good luck with that.
