More democrats flipping to the GOP

Once they crawled into bed with the evangelistas, the Reichwingers have been eager to shunt kids into private (i.e., faith-based) schools. Some are good, a lot are not. Mr. Owl's sister/husband are RW fundies. They had had their son in various Xtian private schools till he got to h.s. He was failing badly and needed help, but special ed teachers and IEPs were not available. These were schools in rural Illinois, rural Indiana, and worst of all -- rural Louisiana. They moved to Kansas a couple of years ago for a job transfer. Now the young man is flourishing in a suburban public school in Manhattan, KS. He even got to go on a school trip to Germany in June. He's in track and field (not available at those private schools) and on the honor roll.

I wonder how many other kids are being poorly educated due to this nonsense.

Evangelistas- I like that! I'm stealing it!

Yes, Private Schools have just as many good and bad things that could be said about them, as public schools.

Thanks!

I was just discussing the way Texas distributes it's property taxes. Yes, of course Texas Public Schools get Federal and State funding as well.

Not sure what else you are asking here. Texas State funding is based on a per student basis, and it has to do with attendance. If a student misses a day of class, the school district is not paid.

you know.....you're just dodging.......today, if a parent sends his kids to private school the state still takes the taxes they pay but they are teaching one less kid.....again isn't it robbery for the schools to take the taxes when they don't teach the kid?.....

It's what happens in the poorer Southern Red States where the legislative branch is totally being controlled by Republicans!

They have been deliberately driving Public Schools into the ground for the last 25 years by under-funding them and cheating them out of money everywhere they can.

School Vouchers is a tool they use to accomplish this! It's called White Supremacy for short!

Washington DC had vouchers.......Biden stopped it by executive order.......their schools are worse than those of Louisiana......
