Right - so get the taxpayer out of the equation and return education to the private sector where it belongs. Then we can all send our kids wherever we want.
Yes, let's just separate everyone. Wait a minute, wasn't that tried before? Then everyone can get into the act. Pretty soon the gays will have a school, the terrorists will have one (actually there was one funded by vouchers in one state), and so on and so on. Yes, let's just get everyone away from all those bad kids. Let's use kids for profit and see how much money we can make from them. Sounds like a plan.
Yes, we all have to get our way or else... Geez, I wish I had your freedom to complain and b---- and moan about kids. But I don't. I haven't gotten my way yet in that department (for 10 years). Be thankful for the privilege and opportunity you have to raise them. I would just like to have the chance to complain like you.
Well, that's a pretty pathetic answer - you are doing lots of complaining right here!
You need a history lesson. We aren't talking separation - we're talking choice. We're talking about parents being able to afford the choice to send their kids wherever thay want to school. Would you rather pay for 12 years of your kids' schooling, or 60 years of everybody's schooling, in the form of taxes ? As a card-carrying member of a capitalist society, I prefer the former. All socialists/democrats prefer the latter.
You think the schools are not segregated now ? Get real, look at any public school around you. Schools draw their students from the local area. In my case, that's about 90% white, 2% hispanic, 4% asian, and 4% black. In Philadelphia ? About 80% black, 10% asian, and 10% hispanic. People are segregated by where they live.
So what's your argument ? It's already here, or do you want to go back to forced bussing ?
Are you a member of FR ? You think profit is bad ? You think public school administrators making 150k - 250K a year are not "making a profit" ? You need some economics lessons on the antics of non-profits. When profit is not permitted, excess money otherwise known in the free market as profits get paid out as salary and benefits.
