"The problem is at its worst each fall before Oct. 30, she said, when Texas authorities count students at each school to allocate per capita financing. In the weeks before this "snapshot day," principals are especially reluctant to expel bullies and report their offenses, she said, because the loss of one student can cost the school thousands of dollars."

Yeah, Robin Hood ticks me off because we live in and pay property taxes for a Chapter 41 ISD under "Wealth Equalization". Then ISDs, such as those down in Houston who are recipients of our "excess" tax dollars, cook their books.

The whole system is all ate the hell up.
