Even "conservatives" like their middle-class welfare.
Graybeard58 has acknowledged that the govt education monopoly has eliminated any market for low-cost education, so OF COURSE most middle-class Americans have no choice but to use the substandard government product.
We shouldn't make them feel bad about it. Lift up, not tear down!
There is a lot of crap I would eliminate from public schools to save money. We don’t need computers in every classroom and I’m not sure kids need computer sciences classes because they’ll learn that stuff at home anyway. I’d dump social studies in favor of geography.
The over reliance on teacher certification is a scam in my opinion. Teachers constantly need more certifications which means they constantly need money to pay other teachers to teach them. That was one of the things I liked about Duncan Hunter in the 08 race. He said screw certification and put people who know how to do things in the classrooms. We’re building a considerable pool of retired astronauts who could teach various physics and astronomy related courses.
