I cannot help but wonder just how many of the complainers have enough money to opt out of the public schools, but choose to instead dump their kids into them, because they’re ‘free’ and allow a better ‘lifestyle’ for the parents. I suspect most of the people that are now complaining.
But the REAL VICTIMS are the children of people who actually cannot afford to pull their kids out, but they don’t have the means and often don’t know how to go about it.
I read the average family doesn’t have, If-I-recall, $500 in savings. My renters, with one exception, are paycheck-to-paycheck. Any bump in their life and the rent moves out two to three weeks.
