>I keep seeing people arguing that school isn’t important, but also against things like school choice and I really wonder what’s motivating them.
so what did I say, I said >If you think school isn't important why would you want to spend the extra money on school choice that such a program would entail?
for which I got three downvotes, because reasons I guess.
someone said it wouldn't be expensive, I said ok it seems to me like logically it would but I could be wrong, here are my points why I think it would be expensive. The guy above the post of mine you're replying to said it wouldn't be expensive for any of those reasons but there would be a lot of disruptions the first few years, and I said ok, so then a person who thought schools were unimportant wouldn't want you to shift schools for that reason, because who wants to deal with a bunch of disruptions in an unimportant system? (and in my world systems that have lots of disruptions tend to be expensive)
I think the thread should be pretty clear.

This is information you can easily find. Charter schools for example spend 61% of what public schools do per pupil per year on average in the US.
The processes and tools to support this are already in place, we're only talking about scale.
There certainly would be a significant amount of disruption over the first five or so years as kids move around, schools would need to figure out expansion/contraction of facilities and faculties.
