President Trump is about to be reinstated onto Facebook and Instagram. My guess is the January 6th stuff is going to be disappearing for a new accusation soon. The article can't help mentioning it though.
A writer for the Sun realizes his job is superfluous compared to ChatGPT. There is much hand wringing and fear.
Teachers are covering up their reading libraries because none of it would fit Florida standards of appropriate. Much hand wringing ensues. No one asks why a teacher would have so many books like that, and instead blames Florida.
vouchers are great for increasing competition in the short term, but in the long term, all it does is run up private school tuition, because now there's more money available. very few will be able to take that money elsewhere from a market perspective.
i'd like to see a massive expansion of school choice. in my county, the public schools are largely based on what neighborhood you live in. there are a few charter schools, and a semi-public gifted academy. even though the admissions are supposed to be merit based, there's a ton of backroom dealing. the state technically has state-wide open enrollment, where you can technically choose any school, but unions battled that by hard capping students and eliminating elasticity in education supply. if you don't get your choice school, you're fucked. and it's like this across the nation.
for this reason, i'd like to see vouchers apply to home schooling. most states spend $10-20k per student per year. that's fucking insanity... can easily educate a child for far less. it's why there's an increasing rise of private group home schooling.
maximize competition. public schools have no incentive to be great because they get the money no matter what. take that away and watch the abusive garbage crumble.
So basically it introduces the tuition issue that colleges have been suffering from to lower education as well. Lovely, I'm sure that won't have lasting and damning consequences.
not exactly. it's the baby cousin of that issue.
the college tuition issue is that individuals can take out practically unlimited subprime debt. even worse, there's a pre-selection issue where those of particularly poor judgment (libart degree majors) tend to incur abnormally excessive subprime debt, especially at small libart colleges.
with vouchers, the cap is pegged to the amount the taxpayer is coughing up per student (or in many states, significantly less than that).
shifting the spending from public schools to private will allow private to raise their tuitions proportionally only to the aggregate increase in satisfiable demand, not runaway numbers like in college tuition. when tuition is $20k a year prior to vouchers, and $30k after, the voucher for $15k is basically a $5k discount when comparing the two systems.
and that's just the finances... not even addressing the competitive impacts. the next 10% of kids who would go private but are just shy on finances would now go to private. affluence has a high correlation with achievement, which would put even MORE pressure on public schools to stop being such hot garbage.
on top of that, you'd see some private schools pop up that literally just charge exactly the voucher rate, and they'd flex much more elasticity in education supply.
exactly. with the lockdowns, parents realized that there was WAY more fuckshittery going on with curriculums. any options to opt out would crash the corruption and grooming.
like with the third example above, where teachers are hiding shit from parents... it's obvious grooming. why does a public school teacher need to hide an entire series of teachings from parents? in one school board meeting, they cut off the mic of a parent for reading one of the books out loud because it was too pornographic... too pornographic for a public hearing of adults, but not too pornographic for 5 year olds?
and the school boards aren't doing anything about it because they're in on it. so give people choice.
Hopefully this creates competition for the schools.
Vouchers will make it so that states can set conditions by which schools are allowed to receive them. It will end up being a backdoor through which the state will set a private school's curriculum, similar to the way Feds set conditions states have to meet to receive funding.
