The article criticizes New York's education funding, noting that the state spends over $36,000 per student without ensuring quality education. Governor Kathy Hochul's proposal to allocate $13.5 million for implementing a cellphone ban in schools is deemed excessive. The city schools Chancellor, Melissa Aviles-Ramos, labeled the funding "inadequate," despite half of Gotham's schools already enforcing bans. The author argues that effective discipline could be implemented without costly solutions like Yondr bags. It emphasizes the need for basic order and discipline in schools rather than more bureaucracy and funding.
You don't need to buy fancy, pricey Yondr bags or establish a whole new bureaucracy in each school or whatever it is Aviles-Ramos imagines she needs a ton of money for.
How much of the $36,000 per student actually ensures that kids receive a decent education is highly questionable.
