An important question this article ignores, is why private school vouchers are chosen over public schools?

      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?

        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.

          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.

              No it wasn’t. Just because you took offense to historical accuracy, doesn’t mean that there was some specific lesson plan to say Republicans are bad.

                  Modern Republicans and Republicans of the era are nothing alike and you know it. Republicans are trying to bring back slavery in the form of prison labor.

                    They are exactly the same. Democrats still want to divide everyone into racial groups and treat them differently. They’re just upset we took their slaves.

                    Prison labor has always been allowed.
