Why Do Public Schools Suck?

What’s most amazing to me, is that even among liberals there are very few people who can justify an anti-school choice stance. If it seems as though this video contains some “straw man” arguments… Believe me, it’s just THAT hard to find a logical case against school choice. If anyone can think of a more valid reason that hasn’t been included in the video, be sure to comment it below.

It’s simple. It’s government.

Public schools suck because they’re under increasing federal control.

[machogirl]

Geez. I have kids in public school and I also have taught.
Don’t get me started. ;)

[Teacher317]

Attendance is mandatory.

[Rebelbase]

I pulled my kid from public school last month and he’s finishing his sr. year online, will be done by January. He and I are both greatly relieved to be out of that zoo/circus/prison.

Government

[Lizavetta]

Because it operates on the same principle as every other government agency.

Take as much tax dollars as you can and deliver as little as you can.

That, and there is zero punishment for a piss poor performance.

NEA Union

[VR-21]

In 1977, Jimmy Carter created the Dept. of Education which he promised the National Education Association he would do in return for their support during his election campaign. He effectively gave the extremely left-leaning NEA a cabinet post. From that point on, public education was doomed to become what it is now. Few people realize what kind of fruit loops are in total control of public education in this country.

Because they are based on socialism?

[who knows what evil?]

That, and there is zero punishment for a piss poor performance.

Bingo. 70% of property tax in my area goes to 'public education'. Right down the union rat hole.

[skeeter]

Public schools suck because too many teachers, those who knows who signs their checks and administers their pension plan, are 'all in' with the government.

They have lost the ability and desire to think independently & critically and are also seeing to it that our children do not learn how.

[Lesforlife]

They’re GODLESS!!!!

[RFEngineer]

Well first, before addressing any other issue you have to define how you measure “suck” and why it is important.

[ClearCase_guy]

They suck because they are supposed to suck. In other words, the schools work exactly as intended.

If people understood the truth of our situation, there would be blood in the streets tomorrow.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I think Steve meant, why are they so “gay”.

[OriginalIntent]

Public schools now exist only to destroy America as we have known it, producing rebellion and immorality, and intentionally so.

The public school monopoly is the ground zero battleground controlled by the far left to produce immoral leftist clones.

This has resulted in the election of a radical far left anti-American pauper as president.

[MinorityRepublican]

One of the main problems is that the quality that goes into education majors at our colleges is just subpar.
