The school administrators have been spending money like it grows on trees. School boards & communities are going to need to strip out layers of bureaucrats & politically correct indoctrination & refocus on actual education.

I’m willing to bet that MANY parents have realized how poorly educated their children are and will continue to home-school. Not the majority, but enough that will cause the overlords to clamp down. That’s why we’re already reading articles about the harmful effects of home-schooling, and how difficult and frustrating it is.

Give me back 1/3 of my school taxes, you closed the schools for 1/3 of the year making a poor investment even worse.

RE:”
The alarm was sounded by school superintendents in 62 cities, who sent a letter to Congress through the nonprofit Council for the Great City Schools, asking Congress for billions of dollars in new federal education assistance and warning that some 275,000 teachers could be laid off in their districts alone because of budget cuts caused by a drop in state and local revenue during the crisis. Those would add to existing shortages in virtually every state.” The payed the teachers to stay home and not teach. Now you demand the Federal government must give you big $$$ to pay the teachers
You closed your schools so they shouldnt cost taxpayers anything

One can readily judge the merits of arguments advanced by Marxist thugs like the one pictured by studying their work product.
P.S. - Brainwashing of white suburban female voters by said thugs is one of the major reasons Arizona is turning purple.

They have kept full employment with no kids present. Now it’s dawning on them that somebody has to pay.

Note to the ruling class: An essential worker is anyone paying income and/or property taxes.
Both of which are hard to do if you’re FRICKING UNEMPLOYED.
And states can’t print money, you flaming idiots.

There is the dichotomy: The governments want us shutdown for control but then they lose control of our children as we homeschool.

Mine- homeschool through early gradeS then private Catholic with a year or two in public for contrast and street wisdom
Large homeschool community. They have all done well. Socially, morally. Most have been excellent in college.
Dept of education is made-up. No where in the constitution.

The silver lining. Start from scratch its a total failure. But, in a way you know for sure our country will ALL be opening back up soon.
