re: Governor Landry pushes for use of public funds for private or home schools

There are just as many links declaring private education superior. I say we eliminate biased reports and studies and focus on reality. Which concludes that private education provides better results.

Here is one of those links but like I said a link war will not provide a winning argument for you.

“ Research has consistently shown that private school students tend to perform better on standardized tests. The National Assessment of Educational Progress, which is often referred to as “the nation’s report card,” assesses both public and private school students in subjects such as math, reading, science and writing. The most recent NAEP data shows what other research has found: Private school students score better in almost all subjects.

For example, eighth grade private school students averaged about 20 points higher than public school or charter students on the NAEP reading test in 2022. Fourth grade private school students had nearly the same advantage in average scores.

On college entry tests such as the SAT, NAIS found that students in private schools consistently outperformed their public school peers in all subject areas.”

. Then link them. This isn’t about private vs public anyway. It’s about voucher vs public.

I did provide a link. If it’s not about private vs public that’s because there’s no debate in which is better. Voucher kids will frequently under perform at private schools for obvious reasons.

Building on the SREE 2022 conference—"From Reckoning to Racial Justice: Centering Underserved Communities in Research on Educational Effectiveness”—the SREE 2023 conference theme is about truly embedding equity into our research and practice. Doing so may require expanding our notion of what counts as evidence for decision making. We contend that doing so is the right thing for science and for society. To harness this integration and produce better, more relevant, more actionable evidence, we suggest considering the following: • embedding an equity orientation and equitable practices into experimental impact evaluations • embedding lived and front-line expertise with research independence • weaving qualitative and quantitative approaches together in producing evidence of educational improvement • embedding an equity focus into outcome measurement • integrating internal and external validity for rigorous, balanced, and useful evidence • integrating causal inference methods into capacity building and practice

Why do you do this to yourself? Why do you keep falling for these lunatics and charlatans?

So no?

There’s a reason the highest performing private schools don’t accept vouchers, yet you want to throw more money vouchers. Why?

I am not in favor of public vouchers for private schools.

The #1 reason why people send their kids to private school is to avoid being in school with lower class black students….If you look at test scores and school grades. You don’t have look pass the demographics to see if a school is an “A” school or “D” school. Majority white public schools have tremendous success on standardized and ACT test.
