Not doing too well in Texas either. Legislature’s 4th Special Session was convened by Gov Greg Abbott specifically to pass bills related to school funding, teachers retirement funds and vouchers. As of this moment 2 rounds of voting and vouchers are still a no by a wider margin than expected and not really along party lines, either. The Texas House & Senate, R’s & D’s are listening to constituents. Shocked I tell you, shocked.
Nothing makes me happier than to see the DeVos crusade pounded into the ground.
Really well written and researched article. Lots of fine statistics and data. The author only fails when it comes to explaining why parents are taking their children out of public schools. And this is vital to understanding the growing number of private schools and homeschooling. Covid school closures showed parents the trash, the rubbish teaching and indoctrination that their children were receiving. And it scared the hell out of them. Then when they complained to the school boards, the DOJ was set upon them as Domestic Terrorists. All because they saw the man behind the current. Had teacher's unions not wanted to be paid for a two year, paid vacation from teaching, they should never have closed the schools.
And now that attentive parents know, and have seen the Wizard of Oz, they want nothing to do with public schools. This is one genie you can't put back in the bottle with data, and statistics, and well constructed lies about "lack of standards" Students leaving public schools by the tens of thousands is your monster. Teachers and their Unions created it, and now it is beyond your control. Rene Jax
The primary problem with public schools is the lack of competition. Public schools have ZERO competition, and their results show it. It's shouldn't be hard for States to provide funding that follows the student, and parents can use that funding to pick the school they think will provide the best results. These problems are not complicated, but everyone who gains to benefit either financially or politically like to make it hard. We homeschool our several children, and we get no tax credit or anything. We still get to pay taxes to support public schools. That would not bother me so much, if public schools were doing a good job educating children. But, they're just not, and everyone knows it.
