This is exactly what I am talking about. Closing schools. Several districts are operating on 4 day school weeks. I’m talking about Abbott pulling funding from the Texas public education system, removing principles from schools that were having success, appointing a superintendent to HISD who seems to be intentionally running the system into the ground.
Do you really believe that funding is the problem with public schools?
Let’s name a problem that can be solved with more money allocated to public schooling. You go first.

The whole voucher system was designed to help give kids from lower income families the same opportunities that wealthier children got. And, the lottery draws were skewed for that purpose.
My daughter is moving to San Antonio from out of state next week. She was thinking about putting two of her children in Catholic school. She talked to the administrator. There are large hispanic enrollments of kids in Catholic school made much easier by the vouchers. They are there now. This will hurt that group of parents and kids.
I'm not sure if there are teachers unions in San Antonio, but this is payback to the education activists that prefer a monopoly on education. They are vile people.

Texas tried throwing money at it.
School year/Total public education spending
2014–15 $60.4 billion
2019–20 $77.0 billion
2023–24 $100.0 billion
2024–25 $103.4 billion
The system got worse. Shockingly, the teachers blamed someone else.

I guess I didn't know there was a lot of muslim private schools.
You would be correct. Muslim schools make up 3% of the private schools in Texas. It’s immaterial.

It’s not just funding.
It’s leadership.
It’s allocation of resources.
It’s management choices.
Let’s get informed.
You go first and research the Texas Education commissioner Mike Morath.
There is already plenty of info about HISD superintendent Mike Miles:
-Criticism of the instructional model and curriculum
-turnover and low morale
-Criticism over the principal evaluation system
- criticism over handling of school resources
-HISD bond proposal rejected and the accusations the followed

Do you live in Texas?
Maybe you could nitpick the spelling or grammar.

Why should tax dollars be spent on unregulated and inferior religious training? If people want their children molested they should pay for it themselves.

The confusion between what is a private school and what is a parochial school makes most points difficult to understand.
Religious schools are parochial and rarely the same as a private school.

that increase pretty well tracks inflation over that 12 year period. Looks more like maintenance than throwing

Good luck finding inferior Christian schools just about anywhere.

lol. Treyvalin swallows TEA propaganda and regurgitates it.
Know how I know that’s what you did? You tried to make a comparison and you were spectacularly wrong.
Texas state funds tracked inflation. Spending didn’t. But you don’t know the difference. So you just shite out a dumb post and thought you were right. Put the fries in the bag.

The voucher program is garbage. It would have destroyed public education, propped up scam schools. The amount of fraud in that program here in Louisiana is insane. A few years ago there was billboard for a charter elementary school offering pre med and pre law courses to elementary students.

Vouchers are a scam. 76% of Texans were against it
Abbott lost a lot of people saying it’s his number 1 goal and didn’t let people vote. It’s a disaster

My son well placed in county school admin indicates the conversation about shutting down school vouchers will most seriously impact the Sharia/muslim private schools because they are more dependent on the state welfare. Texas heritage schools have been more funded by parents and are less likely to be affected
Maybe so, but once this is identified, they will find a way to keep the money going to those schools. Removing vouchers is only intended to hurt us kulaks.

The numbers in 2025 were very similar to the numbers in 2015, when Abbott took office.
He said he was going to fix it. His voucher system is making it worse.

Public education has already been destroyed.

I’m sure the education folks jumped right on board and helped implement his agenda.
Vouchers aren’t making it worse. fricking idiots. You go to public school?

we just need to throw more money at brick and mortar and administrative staffing while lowering academic standards so shitty parents don't get their feelings hurt and stop voting blue!
