Bruce D. Baker 是美国最重要的学校财务专家之一。他现在是迈阿密大学的教学教授。

他的博客是 SchoolFinance 101。他最近思考苏斯博士将如何解释学校财务和教育机会平等。

他写道:

唉 – 我发现了 OpenAI 的用处 – 将我对学校财务最深刻的理论思考转化为苏斯式的散文:

哦,你会搞砸的资金!(关于公平、充足性和机会口香糖的滑稽 Zoodle)

In a flibber-flap land of the Schollaroo Schools,With Sneetchy-like districts and Yoppity rules,There lived some young learners (some tall, some quite small),Some had lots of Zoom-Zooks… some nothing at all.

现在大思想家委员会(戴着三英尺宽的帽子)说:“公平!我们会解决它!” “我们会给每所学校同样的一小堆钱——同样的钱!同样的书!每包里都有同样的粉笔!”

But the Glumguzzle Kids from the Far Fizzle ValeSaid, “That sameness you’re selling is starting to fail!For we’ve got more needs than the Zazzberry crew—Same stuff doesn’t make us equal to you!”

“Oh fiddle-dee-FOOF!” said a Number McNerd,Adjusting his graphs (which were wildly absurd).“If fairness is sameness, then sameness we’ll do!”But the data went BLORP! and the theory fell through.

Then a Wise Whiffling Wonk (with a long curly tie)Said, “You’re asking the wrong kind of ‘what’ and of ‘why.’Don’t stare at the STUFF—don’t just measure the pile—Ask what kids candoat the end of the mile!”

“Set goals!” cried the Wonk. “Let outcomes be king!A common big target for every small thing!If all kids must reach the same Zibble-Zoo height,Then fund them so EACH one can climb it just right!”

“But WAIT!” cried the Snargle from Budget Bay Bog,“You’re forgetting the Blibbers! The Froons! And the Fog!Some start way behind on the Great Learning Track—You can’t just say ‘equal!’ and pat your own back!”

或者整个事情都陷入了SPLOOP!……我们又回到了正轨。
