[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is my first time coming back and I didn't expect this to get off track. I'm not a right wing crazy or anything like that. I'm in a failing, title one school and am interested in other options. I went to public schools and am more interested in magnets than private schools. It just feels like our public schools are very poor quality here. My school in particular has no after school clubs, no language at all and no differentiation in reading or math. Kindergarten has really been eye opening and just a really bad experience. We went to a mediocre Pre-K and it was 100x better than public K.

My neighbors are fleeing our local school en masse and I think magnets would mean that they wouldn't move. I know in DC, school choice has let people stay in DC when before they would have gone to the suburbs.

And yes, a 10k voucher would be lifechanging for most people. A great private in my county is 15k, but there are Catholics that are under 10k.[/quote]

How do you define “Failing”? [/quote]

You can’t be serious.

I do not know why I bother engaging with you, PP, when you feign ignorance.  Everyone knows there are far to many public schools which are unquestionably failing.

For the rest, who might not realized how these public schools fail generation after generation of kids (mostly BIPOC kids, BTW),  here is just one of tens of thousands of articles about failing public schools - many nearby:

That was my first post.
You said your school is failing. I’m just curious to know the data on which that is based, if you care to share.[/quote]
