Not enough profit for the shareholders if the school is free. Also, how can they pay for the biggest military in the wolrd if they keep funding needless items like school lunches and resources.
Comment on Parents opt kids out of school computers, insisting on pen-and-paper instead
UltraBlack@lemmy.world 20 hours agoI really don’t understand why teachers need to pay for all of this…
Here in Germany (admittedly not at the forefront of digitalization) we just got to borrow school-supplied books. There were some exercise books we had to buy ourselves and at the end of the year we had to pay some 15€ for printing.
In the last three years we were allowed to bring our own laptops and tablets, which would save us the printing costs.
Other teaching material costs were always paid for by the school.
What about this does not work in the US of A?

To be fair, school lunches aren’t free in Germany.
Technically they could be considered free if you factor in monthly child benefits (currently at 259€ per child) or parents further qualify for social assistance.

because in the USA we hate teachers.
