“School choice” is a lie. Invest in public schools! #SOTU

If the net result is an overall superior educational outcome, why not? Using your logic, taxpayers who never had children shouldn’t be footing the bill for education either. I send my child to private school but still support a local bond measure to increase school funding.
Charter schools, which suck the most out of public schools often produce worse results than their counterparts. Why should we waste money on a bad product? As to private schools, voucher systems like the one under Pence in Indiana led to millions in debt to the state budget.

The data is mixed on that. There are certainly charter schools that are outperforming public ones. Let competition thrive. Give parents the power to choose. Also, why is it that Dem politicians all send their children to private schools? The public system is a failure as is.

Yes, SOME do, but the vast majority don’t. Until we figure out why so many perform so poorly, why would we expand them? BTW, I am the product of public schooling; I teach at public colleges, universities, and high schools (dual credit); and my wife is a public school teacher.
