[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe in the freedom of school choice.
Why don't you, op?[/quote]

It's only freedom of choice for some. But, while Trump is busy attempting to weaken the independent media, by all means, he should go ahead and weaken public education. Both are essential to democracy.[/quote]

Public education is already weak, IMO.

We spend tons of money on education in this country and it gets wasted on stupid shit like Chromebooks in 2nd grade so kids can learn how to message each other, Promethean boards that don't work properly some of the time, additional testing year after year for no good reason.

What are you so afraid of?  Try something different.[/quote]

NP. Agree with everything you said, except the last part.  What I am afraid of is the old bait and switch.  Divert funds from public schools to private schools, then when public schools are no longer viable, make education a pay to learn system.  no money, no education.  no public funding of education of any kind.  The people promoting "school choice" are those who believe nothing should be free.  Their motives are never altruistic and all they care about is creating spaces for businesses to make profit -- it's never about people in need.  Don't ever be fooled and don't try to fool those who know this is all driven by profit motive.[/quote]

Although I support school vouchers, I also agree with this poster. Remember Bannon wants to "blow it all up."[/quote]
