Nope. Follow the math, or have a middle schooler explain the math to you. My idea of school choice leaves public schools with
more money to spend per kid. "More money per kid", is the exact opposite of what you claim would happen.
So it's better to punish the "most engaged parents" by leaving them in failing sh*thole schools that you'd never, EVER send your kids to?
How does that help those most engaged parents, Paul? Please explain how denying school choice helps those parents? The ones who happen to be poor, but are doing everything the right way? How does denying them school choice help them?
The only ones hurt by school choice are the teachers left behind in the urban schools (as some of the most teachable students would leave) and the union, and therefore democrats who get $$ from the union. That's it.
