Banning private schools.

[Bud_Spencer]

.
People completely ignore the gross transfer of wealth to the top in America over the past 50 years, throwing millions of children and their parents into poverty, which creates challenges at home that kids bring to school every day.

Is it any wonder that Democrats are trying to lift more children out of poverty with President Biden's Build Back Better plan.

And all of that happened with the government schools in place and extracting ever more tax pelf from the public.

Yes, I totally agree....we need to completely ban private schools.

We don’t need to ban anything, what is needed is choice. I put my kids through school and college. Both my girls attended Catholic school till my youngest had to be pulled out of her Catholic school and transferred to a public school for her last year because we couldn’t afford the tuition. She breezed through her senior year in public school because she was a whole year ahead of her peers in public school.

Plenty of choices out there. Sucks that those religious choices are too expensive for you. Maybe write to the pope on that one.

But hey...ban the private schools. I'm totally on board with the OP.....why aren't you?

All Democrats have to do to lift people out of poverty is to stop shutting their businesses/jobs down and stop taking all their fucking money to begin with.

That makes no sense at all.

We're spending 3.5-4 times as much in inflation-adjusted dollars, per pupil, than we were 60 years ago, and we have nothing to show for it. Student performance has fallen, test scores are, at best, stagnant and our standing vis a vis other nations has plummeted.

Why on Earth would anyone want to perpetuate this system?

What would you suggest instead?

It wouldn't be too expensive if you only had to pay for one or the other. School funding should follow the student not the bureaucracy. Competition breeds excellence.

But how could that be done?

Given the choice, every parent in America would naturally choose private over public.

Competition in public services should never be allowed.

Public = government. There is no meaningful distinction.

Republic schools.

Easy, give each parent a voucher for each child to follow wherever the parent/s wants to enroll their child. It's all about choice and equitable distribution of funding.

As far as not having competition in public services, I SAY ***POPPYCOCK*** UPS/Post office, public schools/private schools, most federal contracts require 3 bids for just that reason.

Private schools don't need money.

Private schools don't need public money.

For clarification.

Yes, having private money was implied

 

[LukSkyFokker]

I don't trust the RWJ here to decipher implications.

There’s already plenty of competition.

The voucher wouldn’t do anything.

Without competition, there is no incentive to continue innovating and providing quality to the customer. In many other areas, the public sector is giving way to the private sector.

Again, there’s no lack of competition.

Public schools don't have any competition, especially in the poorest communities. Children have to report to their neighborhood school, which in the poorest communities are among the worst. Some might get lucky and get accepted into a charter school. Otherwise, there is no competition.

Privatization of public services has never turned out to be a good idea.

Competition breeds excellence.

Oh look. Another trite cliche. Perhaps we'd like to ruminate on the potential for cooperation.

And that doesn't even touch upon what came of the 2016 political primary competitions.

Competition breeds excellence indeed. I think it would behoove us all to not take trite cliches as a given.

Public schools compete against other public schools.
Children don't have to report to a neighborhood school, they can be home schooled or enrolled in a private school.

You don't compete against anyone, when you are the only school in a given territory. Additionally, home schooling and private school are not options for the vast majority.
