My thinking is that a private school would NOT be obligated to let disruptive kids remain in their school and expel them as they should! And if the parents stand to lose the value of that voucher, they will THEN take on the role of discipline for their own kids rather than leave it to the school. The biggest problem public schools now face is that the worst kids must remain no matter how much they disrupt those who actually want to learn. Private schools don't have that problem.Vegas » 35 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ I am not sure if vouchers are a great solution. for the problem of inner schools. I like that idea for parents/children who are serious about their education, but not for inner sity schools. The useless losers in the inner school would simply use those vouchers to go to a good school, so they can trash them also.
The first step is getting the country to admit that the current public school system has failed and needs a complete overhaul. And black parents overwhelmingly favor a voucher program as even they recognize how poor an education their kids are now getting.
It was actually a sad joke reviewing the job applications that I received in my company from mostly minority (supposedly) high school graduates that were fundamentally illiterate. Most couldn't construct a sentence, had little or no understanding of the question, had no conception of the kind of response a business was looking for in a prospective employee, and their spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure was an abomination, and this was 20 years ago in a northern NJ inner city with NJ leading the country in the amount of money spent on public school education, long before the Covid shutdown caused such a massive downturn in test scores.
Can you imagine how inner city minority voters would switch parties and vote to support a Republican candidate who promised to implement such a dramatic change? Democrat politicians would be screaming bloody murder losing that support!
