Private schools - if given public money - will only raise tuition even further.
So? You are still paying x dollars like you were before. If it went down that way, how is Wayne worse off? Regardless, the public money should follow the child. If a group/school wants to add to the public money, they should be able to.
Might improve selection as private schools might be able to be started/funded in these counties now.
That is what will happen. There won’t be a stagnant total of schools. If the current established total of schools raise their tuition, so be it. It doesn’t affect me. I’ll worry about my plate.
My public district spends $13000/child. If my church can receive half of that, we are opening a school.
Basically, what they did from the 50's through the 90's. Not hard.
You do realize who’s running the current show? It’s not in their interest to do any of that.
The people that could bring about change and bitch the loudest already pulled their kids from public school. That trend isn’t changing either.
Oh, and stop passing kids on to the next grade when they haven't applied themselves
Impossible now. If you thought this system was messed up before Covid, watch out. This shitshow is just getting started.
Those preK-2 kids that were taught to read/write during Covid are now upper elementary/middle school. The mask bullshit has consequences. When you can’t see your teacher’s face, it’s kinda big deal. Add to that trying to learn over a Chromebook at home.
In my wife’s grade level, there are 15-20% that cannot read a complete sentence. New concepts are still being thrown at these kids at the same rate like it was pre March 2020. I can’t imagine being a lost child like these are.
The number has grown so large that admin doesn’t know what to do. The problem is too big to hide, but it’s mostly shrugged shoulder time.
