No I didn't say that. But the point is, the minute you attach public schools, all of the sudden Republican voters become very socialist defending public schools.This is where republicans turn into socialist bitches because many of them rely on public school so both parents can work.My son is dealing with online classes here in Indiana. Personally I think it makes a lot of sense. The two big knocks are younger students not getting routine and lessons they need in a school environment, and the lack of social contact that makes many home schooled kids awkward. Also, it would be a death blow to sports. My opinion is to have kids go to school through seventh grade, and then for the older kids, make it online. As for sports, I dearly love them, but I don't see why it is federally funded under 'education.' Sports options should be dealt with on a county or city basis. You don't need athletics to learn teamwork and effort. That is a ridiculous excuse for the funding of sports. Keep in mind, my dad was a teacher, and I played football, wrestled and was a swimmer, and I loved them all. I think online teaching for older kids could offer tremendous opportunities. I have found teacher quality declining at a steady rate, mostly because they do not get payed much and education changes every time the wind blows. How much do you think the department of education would fight this?
public school is outdated and a huge waste of money. I know all the arguments people make for the social interaction but let’s cut the shit. Brick and mortar and busing all your kids back and forth is a huge cost we all don’t need. Every kid should get a new tablet every year and they should online school. if you want more go to private school.
I agree with your point about school being used as a tool so both parents can work.
But if you think only republicans play that game, you are kidding yourself.
So for yours your side has been attacking public schools as being a waste of money and they are doing it bad and inefficiently. Well I agree with you. We can no longer afford public schools brick and mortar and buses and gas and faculty who are paid to teach gym and graduate idiots. We can do this online and public school kids should be doing school on a tablet. If you want more go to private. If you can't afford then you shouldn't have had kids.
We are over populated and this will help slow the growth in human bodies. Fewer people having fewer kids. Perfect.
And then my taxes will go down. Pay for your own kids.

The minute you attack public schools, the media goes and shoves a camera in the face of republican voters that support the public schools, to support the us vs them game.
The republican voters who support school choice, are still there. They just get ignored because they agree with the attack.
This creates the illusion of flip flopping, but it is a creation of the way the media operates.
