Terminology Clarification - The GOP term of "school choice" means "replacing public education with privatized schools focused on making profits and religious schools". Support public education please. #PublicschoolProud

no one was arguing against this???? but public schools should be supported 100% because not everyone can afford private education.
-
also tax dollars should not go to private schools i say this as someone who has attended both public and private schools during my education.

As pediatrician, I have seen that "choice" works well for highly educated, motivated families, but that choice does not serve many who need it most. Personalization can take place in public school framework

They have a choice already. You're framing the question you're trying to ask in a very misleading way. Why shouldn't someone who is sick have the choice of where to get treatment?
-
They should, which is why pro-school choice advocates generally support increasing choice in health care, too.
@MackKennedy8 makes the point, though: many inner-city poor kids don’t have much choice. Can you make a persuasive case why they shouldn’t have more choice?#MN02 -
Responded to the strawman below. So now you're for public funding for healthcare?

Parents already have that choice...what you're attempting to do here is take tax dollars from Public schools, and give it to Charter schools. Which are Privatized FOR PROFIT, once again you're only helping the rich.

Taking resources away from public schools means that those schools deteriorate in quality, nobody wants more choice if that means that all of the choices they are given are worse than what was offered in the past.

Want to make America great again? Invest in public schools. This was America's greatest pride for generations.

Better public schools in ALL districts is the only solution that will actually help all of these “unique” kids. School choice still means kids’ education is linked to parents’ resources (financial and otherwise).

The "school choice" that republicans are actually pushing is the opportunity for unscrupulous operators to siphon funding from the public school system.

Seems clear to me that your constituents want fully funded public schools...

Agree with your statement, but I don't want to fund private (mostly religious) schools with public taxpayer money!

If parents want(and can afford) to send kids to private school that is there choice and always has been. Subsidizing private schools can only degrade education of kids that need it most. Rich kids will be just fine without taking $ from public schools.
