Why is the left terrified of taxpayer funded options for schools?

Private schools would be cheaper for the taxpayers. Give each student a voucher equivalent to the cost of government education, and let the parents decide. I don't see the threat.

If you want your child to go to a government school with metal detectors and cops, then send them there.

If you actually care about your kids and want them to excel, then send them to a private school.

When I was a wee lad, Christmas was so very exciting. We had snow, Christmas trees, and we even got to decorate the tree.

Fast forward to this government freak show we have today, and having a Christmas tree in class will probably land you on a terrorist watch list. How did we allow this to happen?

Home school. YOU decide what goes or doesn't go with your child/children.

All those sites are something I try to avoid...as well as giving too much information.

More people need to stand up and be counted...but I don't believe all the sites out there are the answer....

@SW-User Teachers unions would love to ban home schooling.

@graphite That's just too bad, and I don't care. Most don't really give a damn if a child learns as long as the money is kept rolling in.

@SW-User Our local schools were ready to reopen during the pandemic until the teachers union came in and put a stop to that. Why have school administration and an elected school board if the teachers union gets to make all the decisions?

@graphite More politics? The show must go on!

You missed the point

@JimBeam I'm sorry if you think I did. I get the point of taxpayer options for schools. I just don't think private or religious schools are always a better option. And I only know public schools are funded and lose that money for each child no longer in a public school.

In my state it costs about $20,000 to put a third grader to school.

So give each student a voucher for $20,000.

If you were a qualified teacher and had a teaching certificate, you could round up five Little rascals and teach them in your house. 100K

$100,000 a year and about 4 or 5 months vacation.

That's the way it should be.
