We have fully fractured grocery stores, auto repair shops, and a very wide selection of post high school training and schools. Why is K-12 special?
Just think of the possibilities.
— The local summer camp could open a full-time boarding school. ( I bet a lot of single moms would like that!)
— The local Goodyear or Schawb could have apprenticeships for teens.
__ The local Karate, Dance, Boxing, and Music studios could have programs.
__ The local KinderCare could have schooling through the 6th grade.
__ The local community theater could run a school.
— The local ice skate area could run a school.
— The local soccer and baseball clubs could run a school.
Imagine the variety and quality of training. Real coaches instead of a part-time history teacher who has many other responsibilities.
More importantly, the number of teachers qualified to teach certain subjects are limited. There are not enough of them as it is, and those numbers could not be factored into large numbers of smaller facilities.
It is MY government. It is OUR government. Why do you object so strongly to MAKING it conform to the needs of the people? What ever happened to a government of the People, by the People, and for the People? Have you surrendered? I surely haven't.
Organizations that school for a profit are not likely to be any better than government facilities. Corporate schools would indoctrinate kids into their corporate mold. All hail to the Phone Company! A local theater group is just chuck full of communist-want-to-bees, for that is the nature of the performing arts. An ice skate instructor is not there because of his grasp of physics or chemistry, and local baseball or soccer clubs are not general hotbeds of mathematics, software engineering, or any scholarly pursuits for that matter. I suppose you think that the local garbage dump would be a great place to find a biology lab and qualified teachers.
You do not seem to have a grasp of reality. It must be nice to hang out with unicorns and leprechauns.
