[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MAGA attack on public ed[/quote]

No it isn’t. 2/3 of the schools are on track. If this is an attack why are t there more failing schools? The reality is that these schools are pretty bad and Arlington does have a two tier educational system. Hopefully this puts an end to the myth that all Arlington public schools are the same. This is why there is such a long waitlist for ATS. Parents know how bad these schools are and want an out.[/quote]

It’s a maga move to vouchers which maybe you support [/quote]

Can someone explain to me the whole voucher discussion?  Critics think this is really just a pretext to get around separation of church and state in schools, and prop up private religious schools?  Ok, fine, but couldn't families use vouchers to send their kids to, I dunno, a non-religious private school?  And vouchers are government-funded, no?  And since when did republicans want to expand government expenses?  I'd love to pile on to calling out closeted maga-types, but I'd like to understand the logic before I do so.  [/quote]
Vouchers take money from public schools and gives it to middle and upper income people to subsidize sending their kids to private schools.  It leaves the schools with fewer resources and only poor students, i.e., those without funds to pay the remaining tuition for a better, private school.  Vouchers aren't usually enough to fully cover another quality option.[/quote]
