It must be regional because here the school districts are concerned about pupil attendance because of funding. It’s important for the schools to have a certain number of kids per day and yes the State funds in that way. At least here where I live. Also, the more students in special ed programs, the more funding for those program. A district has to have a certain number in the spec ed program to continue to receive funding. It’s overlapped to private and Catholic schools now too. The more kids in spec ed, the more funding for spec ed in that district. It’s created a downside of labeling kids as spec ed, or encouraging them into the spec ed programs, when some of those kids don’t belong there.
I’m thrilled with our high school district and the education my kids are receiving. I don’t follow SOME of the home school only people on here and consider them kooks. However, if we look at the public education system, there’s no argument when it comes to funding. At least not in this area. It matters when it comes to attendence and it matters when it comes to the spec ed programs. They have to keep up the numbers in both.
I disagree in how to fight. Parents have to parent their kids and be involved in the education system in our Country regardless of what is going on. Others choose to give it up and do their own thing, which is their right, and others choose to fight it out. Good luck to those on the other side and good luck to those of us who won’t allow the education system to be controlled by those who want to destroy this country. I’m all for homeschooling and private schooling and Catholic schooling (and my kids are Catholic and public schooled and do just fine). Bottom line is we all do what is best for our kids and screw anyone who thnks otherwise and wants to control us with their own agenda.
Schools, in this area, have funding per student present. I don’t know what it’s like in other areas, but here, funding is somewhat dependent on attendance.
Granted, property taxes play a part and of course school districts like when kids are homeschooled or private schooled. That’s why the argument that school districts will hate if parents homeshool or private school their kids just doesn’t work. The property taxes don’t change and most school districts like when they don’t have those extra kids.
Are they ‘’kooks’’ for wanting to protect their children from state-funded sexual deviants?
Are they kooks for wanting to se their children safe,and in the arms of a Loving God?
I have no children,but I still want them to be preserved against these assaults by the Devil.
