I don't mind the soldiers of the Resistance in the grade schools, high schools and universities cutting their own throat to "fight Trump".

As I was telling my mother yesterday - they don't understand economics.

They think they'll still be getting Direct Deposit paychecks after the taxpayers rebel over their non-instruction.

I'm just waiting for my local schools to pull the plug - so I can pull their plug on my property taxes.

Let 2020 mark the resumption of the HOME & CHRISTIAN SCHOOLING that was once the norm here before the Marxists captured the GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS!
The video at the link has some info parents of school age kids need BEFORE they ship them off to become the NEXT GENERATION of brainless vandals now tearing the country apart.

“Actually they could save a lot of time by laying them all off and using legitimate videos, already in existence, from the private-sector education industry, completely devoid of queer and communist content.”

Bingo!

There are plenty of good videos to lease for about every subject.

We know a couple of semi retired guys who made those videos as their profession!

I hope President Trump reads this.

The Los Angeles Unified School District spends $18,788 per student. Its goal is to up that spending to $20,000. The mammoth LA school district is 7th in urban spending and has around half a million students. And the costs only went up after a United Teachers strike extracted a 6 percent raise.

Holy crap. When I was in school, my high school cost ~$10M per year. Course, it's up to $20M a year now, but how does a public school across all grades cost the same as a private college prep school? That just shows massive bloat and I'm sure they could cut a lot of $$ somewhere!

Shut of all their GD money. Citizens, challenge the property taxes that go to support CLOSED schools.

“LAUSD publicly admits that 66% of their High School Graduates can NOT read, write or count above the 3rd grade level.”

And I wonder which “3rd grade level” they’re using as this benchmark. Third grade level now, in 2015, or in 1966 when I graduated. The whole system has been dumbed down for decades.

“pool together funds to hire their own tutors for ‘microschools.’ This is happening—but can the entire middle class afford to do this?”

I’ve believed for a long time that the local churches, if they’re able, should have a line item in their budgets to subsidize, or pay for, the private (homeschool, religious, etc.) education of their members’ kids.

The government unions were created by JFK's executive order. Trump should rescind it. The public school unions are a disaster, and the source of much of the chaos being created around the country. Neither the taxpayer, students, teachers, nor general public are being served by the school teacher's unions. Break them and add charter schools and school vouchers and the problem with disappear overnight.
