I go to church with a counselor in a youth detention facility. She tells me many of the ‘kids’ look at “Juvi” as three hots and a cot ... and clean laundry ... and a dentist ... and a barber ... you get the idea.
So now the schools are pointed in the same direction — kids without adequate families and upbringing being taken care of by the ‘Village.’ Meals, clothes, and soon a place to sleep.
Sad.
many parent(s) probably figures “why pay twice?”...they’re already paying for public skoolz.
it’s a slippery slope and the gubmint keeps greasing the skids.
tuition tax credits for education would fix a lot of these problems.
