The cost per pupil for a k-12 education is almost twice as much in public schools vs private. Twice the money and half the results.
Why do you want to waste money on a failing system?

Do you have a source to back up this claim because it’s completely reversed from anything I’ve seen and I’d like to understand it better.

I thought you said average prices, not one state four years ago.

What is insane is the left says we should be more like Sweden. When you agree and say we should do vouchers, they melt down. We spend way too much money on education with poor results. Too much ideology in public schools and not enough education. Back when my kid was in high school; they kept going on about sex , gender and how republicans are bad. The school academics were horrible. We pulled her out and put her in a private school. Her standardized testing scores sky rocketed up. Best thing we ever did.

Who has spoken about Sweden besides you?
My kids spend more time with me then at school and they have a solid foundation and an ability to think critically, I’m not afraid of any scary knowledge they might learn from school, friends, the internet or any other source that I wouldn’t be able to control the rest of their lives and wouldn’t want to anyways.

The left never says we should be more like Sweden?
Who said anything about scary knowledge? It’s the lack of focus on academics.

They don’t teach that Republicans are bad. They figure that out for themselves using critical thinking since they’re not indoctrinated with all that “god” bs in school.

Not that was an actual class lesson. Packed her ass up and sent her to a private school.

Public school have become indoctrination centers for anti-American ideology. They focus less on education and more of incorrect ideology.
Parents need a choice to get schools to focus more on education and not on unpopular ideology.
What stops many people from sending their kids to a private school is lack of money. Vouchers will fix that problem.
That’s why I sent my kid to private school.

You sent your kids to private school so that they can “learn” that earth is 6000 years old, and the creation myth. Hindering their chances at any future.
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
No I didn’t and that’s weird to think.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
You skipped right past my question instead of answering it.
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
I clearly explained why and how to fix them.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I asked you why you want to defund them and not improve them.
Is your answer because you don’t agree with them and don’t like them, so you want to cancel them?

Providing consumers with choice improves offerings through competition.
jacksilver@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
If there isn’t a natural monopoly effect. Look at utilities or Healthcare. Things largely dictated by location (and/or job) can’t support multiple offerings.
How are parents who can’t drive their kids to school everyday going to take advantage of these choices? Vouchers/private schools will create a two tiered system.
