[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This. I began working in the schools when my own kids were in MS/HS after years SAH. It has been so eye opening. If I knew when they were younger what I know now, we would have done private K-12 and I plan to pay for my grandchildren to do just that.

Without major reform, public schools will become just for poor and special education students. Even middle class families will find a way out.

And I work at a “highly rated” school in a wealthy area with an active parents community. It’s still atrocious and the parents don’t seem to know. I didn’t back then.[/b]

Here's what very very basic reform looks like, aka every other 1st and 2nd world Country around the world, or America before 2010...

Eliminate the idea or semblance of DEI:  Merit-based standards.  If you're a quality student, you're in accelerated classes.  If you're a quality student, Talented & Gifted/Advanced Placement classes exist, and are not cut or called racist by Democrats.  Want to be in an AP course?  Earn it.

Discipline:  Discipline the bad kids, hold them back, more detention, extra assignments for punishment, for god sakes just make them read anything but their phone.  Reading on a daily basis is the fastest way to improve IQ, outcomes, work ethic, academic quality.

Eliminate more administrators:  Every school district, especially in the inner city has massive bloat in this area.  You can easily eliminate 20% of administrators, and give 10% of that money back to the taxpayer, and the other 10% into actual teachers, sports coaches, extracurricular.
In my perfect world, the kids are at school 7am-5pm in the inner city.  That's the only way they can accelerate and reach the rest of the kids in the country.  
If Lizzo wanted to look like Beyonce, she'd have to devote herself to a daily grind over many year's to reach that.  Same thing.  Those are the circumstances Lizzo ended up with or caused herself to have (look like), so in order to get to Beyonce, she has to grind, just like these communities and school district's would have to.

If they don't?  Then it remains status quo.  You can argue against me, just accept that nothing will change for this large group of kids, while everyone else flocks to the best public school versions of a-still eroding system.  The other's will talk about this 20 years later after they all went to private school.  [/quote]

I agree with this.  And much of it has already occurred in my hometown:  Baltimore.

Zero students (as in: none) are proficient in math at 23 different Baltimore public schools:

Look for other sources of this fact if you don’t like the local affiliate news.  You’ll see it is true.

Before any leftist nut-job tries to blame this on school funding, Baltimore is the 4th highest funded large school system in the United States, spending ~$21,000 per pupil per year.

Baltimore’s high level of educational spending is almost double what OECD countries spend.
Overall, the literacy rate for the entire USA for high school graduates is  only 80%, meaning 20% or 1/5th of high school graduates can't read proficiently.

For comparison, Japan spends $9,923 per pupil with a 99% literacy rate.

Baltimore’s solution here is: private schools.  Private schools at every price-point.  Catholic subsidized schools in poor neighborhoods are within reach to some residents at or near the poverty level  (and scholarships are available).

If democrats continue to destroy public education across the U.S., they will have no one but themselves to blame for the growth of educational vouchers.
