@gregborbonus@DocLanceP@quantum64653366@paulapoundstone Both of these screw over poor and disabled kids who will not be admitted to charter schools per the data. Now private schools are an entirely different beast. If people can afford to send their kids to them, they don't need our tax $ to help.
@gregborbonus@DocLanceP@quantum64653366@paulapoundstone Sorry you have trouble reading data. So I'll try again. Charter schools mean less money for public schools and more money for corporations. Charter schools pick who can attend and do not accept everyone. So focus is one profit and picking the best students to make them look good
@gregborbonus@DocLanceP@quantum64653366@paulapoundstone Every dollar given to a charter or private school is taken from the public school budget. So corporate companies open charters and reap all the money without providing the same education. Meanwhile public schools get the shaft.
@gregborbonus@DocLanceP@quantum64653366@paulapoundstone Texas has just started it. Give it a few years and the schools will start closing and poor kids will get screwed. Happens every time when schools have profit as a motivation not education.
@gregborbonus@DocLanceP@quantum64653366@paulapoundstone Except less money now goes to schools in poor neighborhoods, so more of them close. So now poor kids have fewer choices. Then the private schools raise tuition so the poor kids can't get in. Add on that public schools take everyone and private schools pick who can go there.
@gregborbonus@quantum64653366@DocLanceP@paulapoundstone School choice only results in corporations making money off of education and poor people not being able to get an education while rich people get free help for their kids.
@bluertwo My neighbor was wearing that red hat the other day and I was like dammit I like you guys. I still will be friendly, but I lost so much respect for him.
@SpeakerJohnson Learn some art history. Like seriously is this why you want to cut funding for education?? So you can look smart to people who don't know better?
