This is why teachers unions do not want you to have a choice where you send your kid. Because no sane adult would send a kid to a school that did this.

- alphabettsy 6y agoI don’t think this is remotely why and the premise is disingenuous as well. It seems pretty clear that they’re against public funds going to private institution rather than they want you to have no choice of where to send your kid.
- agensaequivocum 6y agoWhy? I pay property tax which mostly goes to education. Why can I not have choice in how that is spent on the education of my children?
- bradlys 6y agoYou presumably also pay federal income taxes - why can't you choose how money on soldiers gets spent? Maybe because there's a societal benefit from people not getting a choice on how each one of their individual tax dollars gets spent... And maybe there's a societal benefit from people not being able to choose which public school they get put into. You're gonna deal with one of two evils: Tyranny of the majority or tragedy of the commons. Most places in the US seem to choose tyranny.
- agensaequivocum 6y agoFederal expenditures are very different and removed from one's local community. Everyone should absolutely get some say in how their money is spent at the local level. > Most places in the US seem to choose tyranny. Very true and very sad as well.
- alphabettsy 6y agoThis is why we have local elections including school boards. Good luck getting Middle school by AWS to offer similar accountability.
