Dozens of states expanded school choice in the last two years, allowing more students to leave government-run schools.
But David Walrod, the president of a teachers' union in Fairfax, Virginia, says the new school choice programs are harmful.
We debate.

Many kids have good reasons to leave government-run schools. Such schools often needlessly shut down for Covid, and stayed closed for two years. Some indoctrinate kids. Many leave bad teachers on the job. Many spend absurd amounts of money. (Fairfax, Virginia, schools spend more than $300k per classroom.)
But Walrod says that school choice will create too many different schools, and duplicate wasteful bureaucracies.

And the local voters put the idiots back on the school board that allowed it to happen. A lot of folks with kids left town. I work 4 counties over now and bring my kid with me so I can keep him out of that mess of a school system.

@@JakubKieblesz hahaha. Nothing you said is backed by actual facts. Capitalism is the best due to its ability to make everyone equal. Public schools do so much worse due to their mismanagement of funds and inability to teach actual education. Public schools get a massive amount of funding yet perform at the lowest in evaluations. Private schools only get funding when they perform at expected levels or higher thus their scores are traditionally better. Public education was put in place to take the rights of parents away and to indoctrinate the youth. The quality of education has barley improved despite receiving massive funding and countless required curriculum changes. The entire point of public education is not the betterment of society but the manipulation and forced indoctrination of young and naive minds. It's the same with religions, if you wait until people can think on their own there's no way religions would survive. Once people understand what our education system is doing, they snap out of it usually and realize that public education and so called higher learning are not beneficial they are harmful and should be eradicated.

Problem is that school choice creates these schools. In Australia we never had high crime schools. 25 years ago there was a silent campaign to get parents to go private. Now 1 in 3 kids go to private schools. As the ratio of well off families in some schools increased, the ratio in public schools decreased. When disadvantaged kids make up 50% of a school they become nearly impossible to run due to a lack of positive role models for kids to copy. As Australia has moved to private education our academics have fallen. I attended my local high school. It was considered one of the worst in my city yet most kids succeeded. We had maybe 5% of kids who were challenging. 20 years later the area we live in has more affluent families but that same school has a higher ratio of disadvantaged kids. It's a much harder school. The top education system in the world has zero choice. If you're rich or poor you have to send your kids to your local public school.

@MrZoomah
@MrZoomah Рік тому
@@SB-fl9lh What people forget is that the ability to pay for the school isn't the only barrier to school choice. Poor families work longer hours and have less access to transport. School buses serve a local area and you can't expect a school to send transport for one or two children. As to my local school, given local wealth has increased, student numbers have fallen yet the ratio of disadvantaged to strong families has increased shows something is going on. Why can't disadvantaged families, who care just as much for their children, get their kids to a different school? Why do disadvantaged families not send their child 30minutes - 1 hour from home to go to the same schools as the other students? It's transport. Then we can ask why don't affluent families send their kids to the local public school? First reason is people have been tricked into thinking private schools give a better education while, in Australia, all research points to them doing the same job for more money. The second issue is that in school choice reputation is everything. When people think of which school to choose they will type it into google. If you type the school I talked about into google you get a page of news headlines from one incident in 2007. I would say this is a big reason why affluent families wouldn't send their kids there. This is why private schools have media managers and social media managers. Looking good is more important than academics. Also, reputation is the reason why these schools refuse to take kids with ADHD, PTSD or other disabilities. Foster children in my state can attend private schools but most get refused. Schools aren't legally allowed to refuse them but they can claim they don't have the resources to help them. Some of these kids come with up to $60k of funding on top of their school fees and government payments but schools know that one bad incident can ruin their school. This again concentrates the disadvantage into public schools.

Government has a lot of control over private education through curriculum, but private education (mainly the rich, prestigious ones) have control over education policy and where money goes. The fact that the the Gonski scheme was never implemented for fear of the backlash from private education is a testament to this. The main difference is public schools have to help all students, private schools can get rid of them or refuse access to the school.

That's all public education ever has been. It's designed to indoctrinate kids to serve and obey the government, not to teach them anything useful. There's a reason why you don't learn or practice critical thinking skills in public schools, and why classes that do teach those things in college are optional electives. The government and the highest classes don't want people to be able to think for themselves. Critical thinking and reasoning skills ought to be taught and practiced starting as early as the first grade, and have those things continue to be taught and practiced with gradually increasing complexity with each grade level up through the 12th grade. I don't like the idea of using force to teach kids those things, but if we start teaching our kids how to think critically, rationally and independently, our society will be far better off and much more intelligent.

The teachers union at the school where I work campaigned hard against school choice. They didn't want us to lose all our funding. I kept thinking, "doesn't that mean you agree that we are a worse option than the private schools in our area? If we're the amazing option you keep saying we are, then we should have nothing to be afraid of." The public schools are failing in my state, and that has lead to increased mandates from the DOE that we must follow to maintain funding. There was an amazing teacher that I had as a student. I was thrilled to be working as an aid in his classroom a few years ago and then devastated to see how the quality of his teaching had been destroyed by the restrictive mandates. He was retiring because between the behavior of the students and the mandates restricting his ability to teach, it no longer held any joy for him. I'll never forget his response when another teacher asked him what he wanted to do with his time. He said, "I want to teach! . . . but not like this." It broke my heart to see one of the most enthusiastic and effective teachers I ever had say that about teaching.

I powered through my assignments and got my diploma quicker than I would have a normal school and I was out in the workforce before my friends in the same grade even got to graduate.

Don't get me started on the state of the English subject class with the fact that it relies purely on the teacher's subjective grading of in-class essays (who the fuck thought that testing a person's ability to make a quality essay under a short amount of time diminishes the shorter the time you give them?).

For kids that r too dumb to be left home alone, each kids parents could pay a neighborhood babysitter/teacher $1/hr ($160/month), so the babysitter/teacher could be paid $30/hr ($4,800/m) if they watched 30 kids. If u pay $2000/yr for babysitting/teacher fees for 4years, plus $5000 for educational materials, its $13,000 total. It would be about 4.6 times cheaper than public school. 4 years of Public school per student is about $60,000.

She didn't know she was studying material above her public school grade equivalent. (Neither did we.) She was genuinely bewildered and said to her math teacher after her first of day class, "Shouldn't we be past this by now?" The teacher said, "Oh, you're one of THOSE." The teacher looked up and when she saw her face she said, "You're serious, aren't you?" My daughter answered, "We studied this in 5th grade." She was mostly bored in public school. She had already studied 10th grade biology in 7th grade. She had been studying pre-calculus at the end of 7th grade and she had to retake Algebra in 9th grade in public school. She had no trouble studying Shakespeare because she already understood Old English from reading the King James Bible. Her teacher was shocked that she didn't stumble over the words when reading aloud in class and asked her why she could speak Old English.

Randy, my father was a custodian at a Jr high school for 32 years from 1955-1987 and saw it all when it came to teachers, he said it best "Those who can do, those who can't teach and those who can't teach, administrate"

Yet they continue to tax everyone, regardless if their kids attend public schools.

I was on the school board in NJ when they tried school choice. NJ stopped the program because it was too successful. School choice is a good idea.

Met Corey in August. He spoke at a student convention and did a 45min Q&A after he's that real and dedicated. God bless him

Public school failed me, I dropped out on my 16th birthday. My sister who is 10 years younger than me was lucky enough to attend a private school from K-12, she's a doctor now. I'm not saying I could've been a doctor but I'm sure if I had any attention from teachers instead of being pushed away because they didn't want their grade point average to be affected. I probably would at least have graduated.

Nope! Some committee supposedly got enough signatures to put this item on hold in Arizona until the people can vote on it in 2024. So disappointed because it would be very helpful to my kids and family.

Ban: mandatory school, gov control over education and curriculum, hsd and ged requirements, public school, directly tax funding schools. Let kids learn job skills and work instead

wait wait ...he said competition is not good in education but how so? He didnt explain it and it is actually most important thing it is their only argument pretty much so explain it please Sir!

He actually acknowledges that it forces educators to step up their game, but somehow stills see that as bad because we arn't all working together like communists. Seems to me that he's afraid of merit-based competition because he'll lose. Same old story will all unions tbh.

How so? Cuz they dont want competitions taking away their customers and loose profits over it. Sounds like the public school system is like a cartel.
