I wonder what effect it would have on liberal school districts if there was an organized withdraw from the school district with parents pooling resources to educate the kids withdrawing. then giving an ultimatum to the school district of changes that need to be made if they want there students back. lets face it a 20 percent drop in students would destroy these school districts
It would force them to adapt or die.
Public schools are fond of teaching evolution. Now they can demonstrate it firsthand.
” a 20 percent drop in students would destroy these school districts”
Why? Most public schools are financed from property tax revenue. The tax revenue is collected whether or not the parent sends children to public school. If 20% of children left the schools in my county tomorrow, the system would still have the same amount of tax money to use. The superintendent would simply lower class sizes or create more administrative positions if there were excess teachers.
I can’t see the county commissioners forcing budget cuts if enrollment dropped by 20% even if some taxpayers demanded it. They are too afraid of teachers unions, community activists, and the local press.
And to take that a step further, I wonder what would happen If you could be exempt from paying school taxes if you filled out a form proving that your child is homeschooled. I bet the education system might make a few changes after they lost all that revenue.
...20 percent drop in students would destroy these school districts.”
Doubt if it would make any difference in most parts of Texas. Understand 45 percent of students are Mexican. ESL classes are the norm. If they were going to homeschool seems like they would have stayed in Mexico. Saw picture of several students walking across the border in Brownville to the U.S. side and getting on a school bus which took them to one of our public schools.
That has already happened in Los Angeles, 40% of the Students are Illegal Aliens or children of Illegal Aliens. The vast Majority of American Citizens have already pulled their children out or converted their schools to charter schools. They just keep importing Illegal Aliens to make up the shortfall in students.
More than Half the Schools and the Employees would be CLOSED AND FIRED were it not for Illegal Aliens.,
