True, but dig deeper -- schools don't care about their bottom line because they are trying to make a profit. They care because they are trying to stay open while serving ALL the students. And their funding is driven by the government, which in turn decides how to fund based on standardized testing... which drives the curriculum, which drives the student experience.

You aren't wrong, but you are not describing the bigger picture. There is a vicious cycle going on. And school and district administrators are painfully aware of it, and would love to break it.
