I’m a firm believer at this point that districts can still meet mandates that every child should have access to an education


We could do this for far less money.

All kids have had access to education or a long time. I don't want public schools destroyed, I want the stranglehold they have on the system and the catering to people who do not value education.

Start focusing on your higher achievers and you will see a huge difference. Public schools have catered to the lowest common denominator for too long.

You can still educate the “lowest common denominator” when you remove outright disruptions and chaos.

Combine that with realistic career pathways in high school that don’t exclusively push kids into college, you could actually go a long way to bolstering trades that are struggling to get bodies in their fields.
