I won't post the whole story... basically, poor black children in Mississippi receive the worst education in the nation by nearly all accounts... white kids in the sip aren't much better off...

The above suit alleges a lack of books, teachers, toilet paper, working toilets, edible food, and a whole lot of other things at poor, predominately black schools in the sip...

My thought is this: why the $#%@ is anyone against school vouchers? If every parents has $15k per child to spend on nothing but school, then anyone who cares about these disadvantaged kids Could open a school in these poor neighborhoods and provide them with as quality an education as just about anywhere in the US...

I've probably just made an overly simplistic argument that can be easily defeated, so by all means, someone please tell me why I'm wrong...

Simple economics. If every family received $15, 000 in vouchers the market would adjust to an even more inflated rate and the cost of goods would skyrocket.

But they gots good water tho right..?? 😕

Dey can drank frum dee see. Dat wadda is gud but sawlty.

There could be a Trump U in every city!

If they're getting 15K and choose not to spend 5 bucks on water it's their own fault... 🤐

Ya, that's essentially what we have.... Moron factories... they're called public schools....

In a lot of areas. In my area for example the KCMO district is terrible (the state took it over for awhile) however most of the school districts in the area are very good to excellent.

Well what i meant by comparing public schools to trump university is, a bunch of people have realized there's good money in undereducating... trump knows it, hence trump u... and some folks down Mississippi way seem to have figured it out too, hence sh*tty schools for black kids where the toilets don't flush, the food can't be eaten, and the text books recommend confederate solidarity in these uncertain times....

well, they are removing all the cool statues and stuff... 😟

I got you. That was sort of my point too.... when a hail storm comes and insurance money starts to flow I always see lots of out of state plates and sub standard roofs being built.... but that's the home owners fault. I guess you could say the same for education but you really only get one shot and it's not the kids fault.

Ya good point... i rarely try to be an optimist, but i guess i just hope if school choice becomes a reality, then people who actually care about educating will finally get a crack at forming schools that provide solid education to kids who wouldn't otherwise have it because of money limitation...

But ya, it makes sense that the exact opposite type of person would also get a crack at providing a much sh*ttier education... but it seems like right now, these people already have a monopoly on the educational system in places like the sip... a voucher program would allow parents to tell those people to f*ck off, were gonna send our kids somewhere else....

well, the world needs ditch diggers too.... 😟

Why? You get a lot of use out of the ones we already have?

I do need one soon... gotta replace my french drains and stuff... 😟

1 out of 4 dollars reach the classroom in Oregon.

They're from the government, and they're here to help.

Does that include teacher salary, do you know? Either way, insane...

Well if you can sleep at night, i guess we can let you keep one poor kid from Mississippi undereducated so that you can have your French drains redid...

They need done pretty bad... 🤔

eff the french. merica
