re: If a percentage of children leaves the system, the equal percentage of fixed and variable costs are removed from the "system". You obviously don't understand the relationship between fixed and variable costs. John

I do. New York City has 100s of schools, it is closing and reopening new ones, spending capital budget to build schools. If a percentage of children leaves the system, the equal percentage of fixed and variable costs are removed from the "system". While adding or removing a school (enlarging or shrinking it) does go up or down in discrete steps in the smaller districts, it is not a problem in large ones. Superficial hogwash. My guess is all you know is cynicism. don't mind because I recognize the benefit (to all, to America, direct or indirect) of providing education to even the poorest people (including illegal immigrants, while the case against their parents is pending) who could never otherwise afford to purchase education for their children by themselves. Well, it seems your principles can be purchased with some cold social cash on the side. It's the outgoing social cash that must bother you... Al
