Public School Education System Thread

Vouchers.

Not enough voucher schools out there to replace the standard school system.

And there weren't enough car dealerships in 1901 to replace every horse in America either.

There is a difference, 1901 cars weren’t a necessity, education in 2018 is.

Oldsmobile; 425 of them were sold in 1901. It took four years before cars were sold at a clip of 5000+ a year.

Model-T from Henry Ford wasn't introduced till 1908.

Your examples and idiotic attempts to show that I am Gollum are falling flat on your faces in spades. When the US car was introduced it was not something that took off quickly, it took time for it to become part of the culture. The horse and buggy were still big, and it took time for it to become a thing.

The US educational system has been around longer than cars, it has gone through various degrees of changes, in many cases painful ones. To change the US educational system to such an extreme from a publicly funded entity via taxes to a system where vouchers are to be used for children to go to the school where their parents want them to, you fall into many issues you are all ignoring.

A few situations you are all ignoring is self-segregation, which I have no issues with, but the Democrat Party will, and will fight tooth and nail to keep it from happening. (even though they like it)

Funding for schools will change, and it will potentially destroy smaller towns and cities which depend on the funding for the school to survive, by paying people who live in the area to work...

Sorry, but you guys aren't seeing the big picture, which is nothing new.

Sure thing bucko. You go get em.

For everyone else, you don't get rid of public schools over night just like we didn't get rid of horses over night.

You simply open up access to the superior product, and let the rest take care of itself.

The survey of 1,100 likely November 2018 voters demonstrated that despite relentless attacks throughout the past year by the teachers’ unions and education establishment, the concept of school choice is supported by 63 percent of likely voters.

Support is there because they see it as another choice. That's fine, but go ahead, whos paying for it to put the foundation up?

Sorry, not my paycheck.

The car analogy falls flat for another reason, cars were built by the power of the market.

Education, unless you want to corporatize it, will never come to pass without an extreme cost to the people in the forms of taxes.

You will then have to negotiate with unions, and other entities to make this possible, if at all.

You all aren't thinking this through; you are taking feel-good articles to make your point and not thinking of the how To make it possible.

I can make an argument why we should throw our nuclear waste into the sun, but it doesn't mean it's going to happen because of the massive cost to do so.

"Massive cost." LULZ

Shut em down. 100% closed and auctioned off to the highest bidder.

No vouchers (I might discuss around five years of qualified vouchers to shoot capital into the market. Maybe.)

*Massive cost* A knee-slapper, at least, I'll give you that.
