I'm with you. I also have questions about the separation of church and state on this as well since lots of southern private schools are religious.

We have public money going to private companies for food...for housing...etc.
The money goes into the hands of the taxpayer. If the taxpayer chooses to use it on private schooling, who is harmed?

Look no further than the public/private split with the LHSAA.
And we can't directly hold these principals accountable.
Clearly something will fall out from so many public school principals having Democrat ideals in a Republican state

Please do tell me why in the hell is it my obligation to support someone else besides my own family. Are you retarded or something? I already know the answer to that question. You freaks are really mentally insane to even remotely think that someone HAS an obligation to support some garbage like a public school system. If it weren't for theft by taxation I can PROMISE you if I could avoid giving a penny to public school systems I'd do so in a millisecond. You freaks need some serious help.

What's "tough shite" for you is the obvious fact that, for whatever reason, you're stuck with only about three functioning brain cells. You have no use for the public school system? Are you really this stupid? No, let me rephrase that. Are you really that fricking stupid? So you have no use for anyone in this society who has to depend on public education...from fast food employees, to construction workers, to law enforcement, doctors, lawyers, etc., etc., etc. fricking etc.?
You really have to be one special kind of stupid to believe that you have no obligation to help fund the public school system.

How about the government makes a deal with you. You never pay one cent of property taxes, ever again, for the rest of your life.
In return, you have zero access to any service provided by anyone who is the product of public education.
Like I said, you are truly a special kind of stupid.

More services should and need to be privatized and taken from the government all together. The government has their F'N hands in way too much crap already. And once the government gets involved everything goes to crap. See the post office for a prime example.
I send my kids to private school for a better education and a much better environment. That's my money and I'll spend it how I see fit. You don't like it? Tough shite. The unfortunate thing about it is that I still have to pay school board taxes that fund complete garbage public school systems that I have no use for.
Judging from the writing skills demonstrated here, I'm guessing that the private "school" he sends his kids to is one of those fly-by-night "Christian" schools meeting in some church building somewhere.

Why quote the word Christian when harping on puntuation?

You need actual debating skills. You're just flinging insults

It really has to be explained to you? Please tell me that you're educated enough to understand why, from a punctuation standpoint, my use of quotation marks there is appropriate.

The way you type it out implies that you don't consider them real schools or real Christians. I was trying to give you an out but back yourself into a corner by all means.

Can someone point to a private school that the public has the financial responsibility for?
Is there a private school that taxpayers have to cough up money for if it comes up short?????
I don't know of one.
There are literally thousands of government schools that are mismanaged and taxpayers have to fund the incompetence.

The right, understandably, has grown tired of this, and they are in a pickle with this because the only way to fix this problem ethically is to somehow convince America to give LESS to our children. Our children, dammit. Our children.
Teachers are already underpaid. Ths is having a negative effect on education. You want to have less money in the school, which invariably will affect teacher salary, because it is ethical? Ok. Maybe yu should be more willing to pay for things that benefit us all, like having an educated society, abd stop being an isolationiat pos

If public school teachers really believed in the importance of public education and if they really believed they could drastically impact the education of their students, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Public school teachers have been conditioned to believe they can't really impact a student's education. And for the most part, students perform where their socioeconomic status predicts they will perform.
You could shut down every school in Detroit, have the students take YouTube classes and achieve a better result. Until our unions admit there is a problem that is not related to the amount of salary their members are receiving, we are at an impasse.
And as long as we are at an impasse, school choice will continue to resonate with the consumers of public education.

And the ones who are underpaid are underpaid because of the structure of the CBA the unions signed "in their best interests."

I believe you're talking about two different things, at least in Louisiana.

I'm going to elucidate on this.
In Missouri, public school teachers have the best retirement system in maybe the nation. 29% of their salary is deposited into the MO fund.
If they teach in an underprivileged area, they can have their student loans forgiven within 5 years.
They have 9 month contracts. In St. Louis county, the average teacher will start in the $40s. By the time they retire, they will be making around $70k-$80k.
It's a very comfortable living, if they will stick with it.
