If you dismiss the concerns of wide swaths of parents about how their kids are being educated, but you also want to forbid them from taking their business elsewhere, you're basically saying they should be confined to an institution that doesn't care about them.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoNo one is saying that. Theyre free to take their business elsewhere. They just still have to pay for all the other kids to be educated.
- haberman 4y agoThe other kids are still paid to be educated, using the per-pupil funds that are allotted to those children. What you are saying is that the per-pupil funds allotted to the child who is no longer in public school must still go to the public school, even if that public school system has alienated the parents to the point that the kids are gone. There is no accountability in that, just a license to dismiss the concerns of people who are upset or dissatisfied. Also private school is too expensive for many people. It shouldn't be only rich people who get to make that choice.
