Support vouchers or shut the frick up
Vouchers will never become commonplace for a very pragmatic reason - good students would flee low performing public schools and no one wants to deal with that aftermath.
I'm not against vouchers, btw. They kind of make sense. But, the teachers' unions and government entities will never let them become common.

NY Times Op-Ed: Good parents are hurting schools
Yeah, lets not figure out how we can elevate the dredges of society. Let's bring society down to the dredges.

People laughed a few years ago when that Australia study/whatever said that reading to your kids was a sign of privilege and you shouldn't do it so much because it creates a disadvantage for poor kids
That's like saying "your kid's basketball team has better resources than the team they are playing next week so we will need your kid to back off on doing anything that would make him a better player".
If you don't have competition, what do you really have? Seriously.

They should get rid of schools and teachers and make all children take online classes with a proctor

Poorly equipped or filled with kids who have a shitty home life and just don’t care? You don’t need much to teach a willing student.

Cultural and economic Marxism strike again
It is crazy, the people who are throwing the stones, are blaming the stone throwing on the people that they are getting the stones thrown at them. And the media is glorifying that.

We have rewarded the uber wealthy and there has to be limits on that wealth and income. This isn't punishment. Everyone else is punished (by being paid wages no one could live on) by wealth and income hording.

It's funny that the most vocal about the rich being "too rich"...are usually already rich.
In other words: I got mine. frick you.

Lower income districts clearly have economic obstacles to create "equal" schools.

Thats pretty ironic considering that those affluent families are the ones paying the bulk of the tax money that goes towards funding all the welfare, section 8, food stamps, medicaid, and other forms of entitlement for the lower class.

quote:Look at school spending per student.
Kids in the inner city. How can you have equal opportunity when your school system doesn't offer 1/10 that of the big wealthy schools?
Scruffy has only ever looked at Louisiana’s records, but the failing schools very frequently spend thousands more per student than those with high marks.
Money is not, nor has it ever been, the issue.

I have a friend who works at one of the lower echelon schools in Dallas and the disruptive, troublesome students ruin it for those who want to actually learn something and move forward with their lives. She says that the parents also enable them.
So why take those troublesome, parent enabled students and pump them into the schools where the parents and students care. It's stupid and irresponsible, and it is happening all the time. I can point to some districts in Louisiana where this practice has completely destroyed a district that was functioning just fine prior to the action.
You're also contradicting yourself itt.

They get state funding for schools to make up for less local tax revenue to fund. The lack of equal schools is because lower income areas tend to have a much higher percentage of parents that DGAF when it comes to raising their kids, so those kids DGAF in school and fail and/or have disciplinary problems and bring the overall school down.

There already is. Property tax is based on the value of the home. Someone with a $100k house is paying almost nothing in property tax if they have homestead exemption. Someone in $500k house is paying a whole lot more in taxes.

Gentrification actually benefits the original residents more than harms them. In fact, there was a very informative piece on this on the economist the other day backed up with hard facts with each assertion.
When people tell me gentrification is a bad thing, I immediately know they’re stupid. And I very rarely use that word to describe people.
