You don’t find failing public schools and charter schools in wealthy neighborhoods, do you?
Why would that be?
Because wealthy locales add more burden on to their local taxpayers, who are willing to pay and insist on quality education.
Now Jim and other school choice disciples have no desire to increase funding, instead they want to spread it thinner using vouchers to replace public education funding.
The magical privatization theory, good for schools, prisons, roads, rail, etc.
Wonder why we keep losing ground in the world?
Public schools would have less money to work with because what they used to receive is now a voucher that is handed out.
The only families left behind are those who cannot make up the difference of the voucher (thus, lower-income families) and those with disabled children. Because private schools do not have to take disabled children.
Unfortunately those left behind are the most expensive and it would only get worse.
Now some think that teachers need to just do more for less, because they should feel privileged to be responsible for the education of our greatest asset.
