I'll correct one thing. Those charter schools do not pay teachers well they take teachers with shaky credentials or no credentials at all. They don't get pensions, a union, summer pay. But the schools are safe and actually teachThere you go again telling me what I think. Your simple mind isn't capable of grasping what I think. take your time and read s-l-o-w-l-y. That might give that other brain cell time to fire up and facilitate better understanding.1.Are you crazy or just dumb! The quote you are responding to has no mention of Kennedy. You need to put that bottle away… you are starting to hallucinate…
Stop trying to convince me to agree to subsidize your kids with my tax dollars
So you think public schools are free and don't take your tax dollars? WTF do you live anyway?
Over half of my property taxes go to our schools that I nor my tenants have children in. One of my tenants home schools their kids and that's a huge financial loss to them because the mother has to stay home to do so.
The average public school cost around 13K a year per student. Your argument is not about the failure of school vouchers, your argument is that your leaders told you what to think.
Here goes: I know your tax dollars pay for public schools as does mine and people who don't even have kids. The problem with a national voucher system those tax dollars will be redirected to private schools while public schools will have far less funding than they do now. That is problematic because if vouchers do not cover the entire tuition of private schools the poor will still be going to public schools since many likely can't afford to take money out of their pockets to make up the difference. And wealthier kids , whose parents can afford to meet the co payment, will be going to voucher schools where the best teachers will be attracted by higher pay and where profit margins rule.
So would you think most Americans are going to support the tax dollar financing of TWO schools systems. One for the middle class and one for the poor? I'd rather leave it like it is, overhaul the present system and make it better. Some studies have shown no appreciable academic advantage for private schools over public schools.
I can't fathom a school with subpar teachers teaching very well. Also, I think we have to define the type of schooling is covered by the voucher initiative.. Private schools, Charter schools, Magnet schools, public schools and home schooling are all different approaches to education and different rules apply to each.
