The fix:
Literally,....Within seconds of our state’s governor closing the schools, texts notifying parents of “pop-up” camps for working moms and dads from my grandsons’ karate and boxing studios appeared in my daughter’s text stream. Yes! Seconds!
If government schooling were to suddenly disappear how long would it take those studios to hire teachers and offer extended daycare? My guess?... About 1 minute.
The fix is to begin the process of privatizing K-12 schooling beginning with tax credits and vouchers. The ideal would be to work toward having no government involvement in schooling.
Do you think that there could be robotics teams and science fairs organized privately or by the departments of parks and recreation? Could the county parks systems take over the responsibility of running children’s orchestras, theater, and team sports? Yes, of course they could!
Oh, dear. I might end up in your camp. We’ll have to find something else to allow us to exchange snide remarks.
