Broward County Schools does not make “Top 20 School Districts in Florida” and teachers receive C- Grade (Orlando Biz J.) (tuition)

To seasoned users of this forum, this comes as no surprise; Broward County public schools are at best mediocre and at worst, downright terrible. There are exceptions, such as Majory Stoneman Douglas and Cypress Bay, but these are rare, and admission is not easy.

Private Schooling is available but prepare to pay the big bucks, as much as $27,000 per child per year in tuition.

All the rich cities get good schools, everyone else... garbage. The inequity in school funding here is disgusting, especially given that it is something that the board and the superintendent could fix.

It is not about rich/poor. It is about violence of the protected class.

Utterly ridiculous. The poor schools generally receive MORE funding.

Unfortunately, it's career and social suicide to talk about the ACTUAL issues with the schools. So yeah, funding, and stuff.... blah blah.

Is it that the rich get better schools or that their support of their schools is different and many of the social issues that are seen in poorer areas are absent in those schools?

Ding. Ding. Ding. Correct.

I don't disagree that the poor schools have poor performance in a large part due to the family conditions, values, etc.

The rich schools in Broward do get more funding; just look at how they're spending the bond proceeds....
