We used to have three high schools, but one was closed down for the "good of the public."

(cough)

The redistricting that followed is rather byzantine, but everyone with an ounce of sense realizes that it is the equivalent of "forced busing." Kids on our street now go to the school that is over twice as far away as the one they previously attended. By a fortunate occurrence, the city happened to add more public transportation to allow "disadvantaged' children to ride all the way across the city to their new school. It is almost like… umm… a miracle how that worked out.

Where I live one of the selling points in a home listing is KISD (Keller Independent School District). If you have children it is probably more important to consider the school district you are in than the number of bathrooms when buying a home. The government doesn’t yet control where you live. You do.

Yet another example of why I support making FREE ‘public education’ paid like every other service...by those that use ‘em.

Kill the auto property tax and let market forces take effect.

Bad school? Fire ‘em
Bad teacher? Fire ‘em
Curriculum of choice for students/parents (arts vs. sciences vs. vocational vs.)
etc. etc.

People worry about whether government schools are teaching Communism.

Of course they do, because government schools ARE Communism.

Abolish government schools!
