The sad state of so many public schools in America

No wonder more and more parents support the use of vouchers and school choice.

Pretty ■■■■■■■ sad.

Hopefully when the Department of Education is eliminated and the responsibility for teaching our children is turned back over to the states and communities the schools are in, this sad state will improve greatly.

The decline of the traditional family is largely the root cause of this. The only hope for many families is school vouchers so at some kids can get out of these zoos.

cutting money to schools is a sure way to improve education.

Simply spending more money does nothing to improve education.

In the past, our societal norms usually called for adults sacrificing for kids.

Now the common paradigm is that kids are called upon to sacrifice for their parents’ life choices.

Teachers unions and school districts that are more concerned with boys becoming trans freaks that can prance around the girl’s locker room and beat up girls on the sports teams than teaching students how to read, write and do simple math.
I can’t post pictures but an image of that stunad Whinegarten comes to mind.

Quality education isn’t about how much money one throws at it.

It’s a part of it.

No, it’s not.

Name one successful educational system where no money is involved.

School boards and Superintendents are huge problems too.

We voted every last lib school board member out locally.

Even the old board members didn’t allow trans nonsense in the schools.

No rainbow flags either.

I never made such an absurd statement.

Read your damn posts.
You stated money plays no part in a quality education.

Unpopular solution:

To fix Ameican’s school’s the fisrt step is
to eliminate remedial math and English in colleges.

If you can’t do college-level work you can’t go to college. Period.

But that isn’t what you said. You clearly stated “no money is involved”. That isn’t remotely the same.

Obviously, someone has to pay for the infrastructure, the teachers, the supplies, etc…

The argument centers on correlation of money spent versus the quality of education.

It has been shown that simply spending more money doesn’t guarantee success. It has also been shown that spending less money won’t necessarily adversely affect quality.

I started off by saying that money was a part of quality education and you replied “no it isn’t”.
Thanks for clarifying your position and I agree.

The “Abbott” districts in NJ have more funding per pupil than many of the suburban schools but have most of the worst results.
