Possible Break for Religious Schools

[Tig3rzhark]

For those who know their history, it took federal legislation in order for public schools to desegregate, and even then, it wasn't enough.

With public schools being financed by cost per pupil, public schools quickly lost money when those against integration decided to move to other districts that had more of a white majority.

Put in the Voucher program, instead of attempting to improving the public school system, american opinion would feel better off to discard the public school system in its entirety.

Choices would be left to corporate [[charter), private, parochial [[religious).

So what is the answer for public schools?

They have a taxpayer revenue source but run as a quasi private organization with thier own governing board.

So they really have little accountability to the taxpayers or the local government.In theory they are a large charter school.

Why is it the local school boards always have these nice new multi million dollar administrative offices while the students are Sometimes in deplorable conditions.

We could throw billions in to rebuild the system but I do not see that happening because they are exempt from accountability.

Not trying to be disrespectful but it leaves two options,either remove those who disrupt to a seperate school or move those who want to learn to a seperate school.

That is what all of this is doing,it is moving those that want to learn which increases the level of those that do not in the public school which further erodes the existing public school system.

There are a lot of dedicated and good teachers that are in the public school system that are subjected to daily harassement and are unable to control the classroom for the best possible learning experience.

We tied thier hands then get upset when people want to leave the system for different options.

So it is either fix the public system or expand charters and other options.

Throwing money at the public school system will not fix a systematic problem in a time frame where generations are lost.
