where they can be molested by priests 

but hey, at least they don’t have to be around ***

am I right?

All of my kids went to Catholic School, all the while I had the privilege of paying school taxes at the same time......didn't see too many priests abusing kids or *** abusing anyone either.

Boycotting and defunding public education brings us back to the dumbing down policy of the Reagan/Bush era who put this crap on the table.

Conservative Right Wing Fascist ALEC Tea Party thinkers are NOT fiscal conservative by any means only conservative narrow minded individuals who believe they are morally superior to all others on the planet which of course is a lie aka Pretend!!!. Very BIG government indeed.

Screwing with public education and screwing with libraries and choosing which books OUR children should read prevents academic growth and academic mind expansion which on the long term will stifle the young thinkers from asking "authorities" too many questions only hoping they will accept what they are told. Very Fascist Nazi like.

We should never want our children to stop challenging the government aka "Always Question Authority" YES!

As usual you have it backasswards, the decline in educational quality can be directly linked to the integration of public schools.

The ultra conservative state legislators have been defunding public schools for years and years as part of a plan to turn over taxpayer owned property for free to ALEC HiGH PROFIT PRIVATIZED Fascist Influenced Koch private schools. Yes tax dollars will still be collected to fund this scam on taxpayers.

In my opinion...the biggest problem with public schools is the lack or parental involvement.

My mother had very strong thoughts about that problem.

She was an excellent school teacher with over forty years experience.

Her response to the observation parents needed to be more involved was always the same.

How involved with a plumber do those same parents need to be, other than opening the door?.

The Dems are seeking school control over the parent.
That is wrong.
The schools are Anti-White, Anti-Christian,......and Anti-American.
They do not want parents to step in.
Too bad.
I don't care what they like.....or what they don't like.
I will ....'step-in'.
I am in the ....'step-in' business.
You don't have to call me Capt.......just because everyone else does.

I’ve never had any complaints with Catholic, Lutheran , Amish, or Mennonite schools whatsoever.

They do the Lord’s own work teaching kids to read, write, science, literature, arts, and critical thinking. Their religious role is secondary to the primary role of actual, real, teaching.

But no taxpayer vouchers for them.  No public money that’s not also available to the Muslim Red Crescent, or other such worthy charities.

Every dime of school taxes should support the public schools founded by Scottish Christians.

They are governed by a board of elders elected and chosen from the district.

The Superintendent can be hired and fired by the board at will.

The teachers can only be fired for cause, by the board.

Not one mention of religion is made to the children, except of course as part of American history, literature, music and art.

Here’s to you, Collin Kelly II

Our daughter-in-law taught in both public and private schools until she quit to become a stay at home mom (she is now home schooling).  She pointed to "meet the teacher nights"...at the public school, she was lucky to have three parents show up...at the private school, she was there for four hours meeting with at least one parent (and for most, both parents) for every student she had.

The bottom line.....

Boycotting and defunding public education brings us back to the dumbing down policy of the Reagan/Bush era who put this crap on the table.

About this school funding disaster being manufactured by the fake republican party in many states.....

Is it time to become pioneers? Perhaps

How about designing a plan that would pull public education away from state government? Yes this will require some skill. What could remain is a Public Education system just no longer under state government
jurisdiction.

School districts might want to take complete ownership of their school system. My best guess is that the lions share of school districts do not want state government having any jurisdiction over the public school system.

A superb public education system drives economic growth.

Financing will be the trick. All local tax dollars that fund a school district stay in that district thus bypassing state governments as a collection and disbursement point. Eliminates mismanagement of public education
tax dollars at the state level.

Fortunately school districts own the buildings and such.

We homeschooled our children though we live in a school district that was listed among top 10 in the USA. We also live in a college town. We also created a communication network between 11 home school families, local school district and the university.

School district offered the homeschoolers any class or classes no matter what,  they had to be registered at same time as other students and had to attend whatever class/classes. Parents were requested to attend parent teacher conferences... homeschoolers were praised highly.

HOWEVER we were advised by some teachers that the parents that should show up usually did not.

The university offered a class in Natural History for the homeschoolers. What a deal for all concerned.

Good question. The answer is that if you're going to hire a plumber, mechanic, roofer or just about anything else you had better educate yourself on the subject or you WILL get screwed. I always thought my children were more important than my house or car so my answer would be that parents should be VERY involved.
