Now for vouchers so qualified inner city kids can go too..,

How do they ‘qualify’ and where do ‘unqualified’ inner city kids go? Are we only planning to educate the ‘qualified’ children and those with wealthy parents?
-
Ur reply suggests we lower the standards to make way for those who will not compete. That was done w/ ‘60s busing & destroyed public school system. Tells minority kids they rn’t smart enough (a liberal lie). Meet the academic standard ur in... rest is canard.
-
Primary education is not a means to further stratify society. I completely reject your contention that children must compete in order to get a decent education.
-
Of course you do. Life is a competition. In your eutopia everyone fails equally. Rather than offer opportunity to the kids who embrace it, you will hold them back for the sake of those who won’t (not can’t).
-
I work every day with kids...and none of them choose to fail. They certainly don’t choose to have poor or neglectful parents. Or disabilities. Again, I reject your premise as false and dangerous to society.

And as a vet, I will defend to the death ur right to be wrong...

Thank you for your service. If you're interested in education, I encourage you to read "The Gardener and the Carpenter" by Alison Gopnik. She actually researches child development, so her book is a bit more fact-based than Ayn Rand.

Just what we need, more privileged brats who think they're better thn kids who have less money or don't look like them.
-
Those privileged brats are often kids with learning disabilities/social anxiety and put in private school because the classes are smaller and most do not have a lot of money. FU

Thank you for this comment.. this is exactly why our ASD son attends private school and we are far from being wealthy.
-
I see these kids everyday. I work in a private school and that was a horrible thing of her to say
-
I didn’t interpret her comment as meaning special needs children.
-
A lot of kids are put in private school because the teachers can give them more attention and work one on one with them. They have the opportunity to work at their own pace. I thought her comment was very offensive especially with the “privileged brats”

I understand your dislike of blanket descriptors though. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you too

The destruction of our public schools. Tough sh** if you're poor and that's where your kids attend. Continued class warfare at every step. Poor and working class will now subsidize private schools.
-
BS... you still are paying local taxes for the schools even though you send your kid to private school, so you are not subsidizing private schools.
-
Twelve U.S. states send tax vouchers for students who attend all schools. This is for more than just low income families. Therefore, students who attend private school are essentially attending at local tax payer expense.
-
Those states are: Arizona, Colorado, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Ohio, Oklahoma, Utah, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
