Clara Jeffrey, the Editor in Chief at Mother Jones, replied, "Rethink everything about your family’s priorities."
Well Clara my family and my children are number one. Sort of like a momma grizzly and her cubs. You and any of your left cohorts try to get between me and them and you are going to end up a turd in the forest.
Vouchers and School Choice were available in Washington DC. Very popular with disadvantaged people who finally had a chance to get a decent education for their children. No longer tied to government schools, they finally had resources to get access to good teachers.
Democrats took that away. Because School Choice is racist. Or something.
I agree. What an odd argument. Essentially they are saying, how dare you educate your children better than the rest of us.
Doesn’t that lead to banning private and charter schools too? Oh. Wait the public school teachers are already going down that road.
“Misery for all, education for none!”
The new AFT slogan.
It is the responsibility of rational parents to do the best they can to turn their children into rational productive individuals, and not be feel guilty about it.
Privilege education gap? ha ha ha ha ha .... more like showing the education system, its unions, its school boards, its indoctrination programs, that THEY ARE NOT NEEDED.
Last time I checked 2+2=4, whether the kid is in an inner city school or at Sidwell Friends.
I’m not sure if there’s a law or some type of SCOTUS decree, but if a kid is disruptive, boot their ass out of the school so the others can learn. No reason to waste money on them and warehouse them, if all they wanna do is f*ck off.
This reminds me of the era of private tutors or governesses for wealthy families. I wonder why that practice ended? It’s completely irrational to be upset that anyone should try to provide the best they can afford for their children.
As a homeschool mom I sometimes dream of having a governess...or a maid...or a cook...
I suppose that those who are opposed to this man’s effort to continue the quality education of his children would also be opposed to toll roads. The unwashed masses can’t afford the tolls so there will be no toll roads regardless of the positive effect toll roads would have on the traffic congestion on the non-toll roads.
My daughter and I are doing the same thing in Jakarta. After my granddaughter’s school went bankrupt due the wuflu, we hired two of the teachers (for better salary than they were getting) and now we hold the kindergarten class in our house. The house is huge, so there is lots of space and a big yard. There are only seven of the kids coming at the moment, but they enjoy it so much and are learning far better than they would be learning on line. My job is to read them the stories in English.
Ah, the progressive cry, “Awful eddikashun for all”.
Provided at great cost with no positive results by your local NEA.
Monopolists in defense of their monopolies. How many of California's past referendums have been passed on the benefits to the schools (note please, the schools, not the school children)?
Socialism/Communism always wrecks on the shoals of the individual and family, to succeed, they must be made powerless and hopeless. Thus any disturbance in the river of submission to commutopia must be shamed, then punished, then outlawed. BLM's publicized leaders and manifestos demonstrate this quite clearly.
Private schools be like, we cannot replace parents but we are the best alternative
Public schools: you parents are idiots, do not even dare question how we treat your kids
“Mendelbaum. Mendelbaum!”
So the next thing the crazies will want is to block all private schools too, right? What’s the difference?
This clown’s parents sent her to Sidwell Friends, instead of the local public school. There is literally NO difference between buying your way into an exclusive, mostly white private school, and starting one.
I see.
So Twitter gets to decide who can/can’t educate their own children as they see fit?
I expect a lefty judge will somehow twist words and laws and outlaw this. Can’t leave the plantation, i.e., US indoctrination centers -otherwise known as “public schools”, you know...
Having been homeschooled, I’d like nothing more than to start up a learning pod and teach as I was taught. But I have no certification, and I live in Pennsylvania. Talk about backlash! I’d either be fined into the poorhouse, or prosecuted into prison. The parents of the students would have their lives rendered miserable as well.
The left survives on shortages. There’s never a possibility of making more. There’s just a fixed and usually shrinking supply and if you go one that means I lost out.
They stick to this even when their shortages are impossibly contradictory.
For example:
1. In this article they complain that we are running out of TEACHERS, so if you got one my kids lost one.
2. In this article they complain that we are running out of TEACHING JOBS, so if a more experienced teacher got a job a newer teacher is out of luck:

Pick anything you want and we are supposedly running out of it. There’s a lack of housing, but when someone tries to build more, then we’re losing our old neighborhoods.
The goal of the left is to be the management class for the fight over scarce resources. That presupposes and requires scarcity, which their policies just happen to create.
That’s why they hate Israel, because it shows you can give people a big pile of sand and if they are innovative and explicitly reject socialism they can create more than enough for everyone in just a generation or two.
*sorry for insulting zoos. They are more organized and have fewer attacks among their residents than our bad schools do.
smart, intelligent parents will the the first to pull smart, intelligent students from the corrupt, political, government schools.
What will be left when the process is down? Basically, a holding pen for poor families with bad or troubled students, run by a government union.
sounds kind of like a prison.
