NOT TO HAVE ANY BODILY FOREIGN OBJECTS FORCE INTO ME!!!
MY MOTHER PAID FOR A LASERO HELMET, STICKERS FOR DATA CATCHING, GLOVES WITH FORCE AND TELESCOPING GLASSES.
A SHIELD BUBBLE WITH LASERS AROUND ME AND SOMEONE WENT THROUGH IT.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN A PRESERVED POD!!!!(TO KEEP ME FROM AGEING)
BAD PEOPLE HAVE FORCED OBJECTS INTO ME A BOARD ON TOP OF MY STOVE/HEAD AND HAVE HURT ME.
CAN YOU CHECK MY STICKERS AND VOUCHERS????
THEY HAVE ENDED TEACHING ME AND I WAS A DIRECT LEARNER.
I WAS learning FUTILITY AND FERTILITY!!!
The age group I was with were 2 to 9 years of age.
It's our children, it's our money. Let us spend it where it is best used. Our school system as it is now, is run by WOKE staff in most states. Teaching our young people to find themselves by encouraging kids to become pronoun specific. Letting boys who are pretending to be female into girls' restrooms. Letting male college students join a female swim team. We all know what happened in these intendances.
It's absolutely necessary to have some national standard to make sure that an average citizen have the basic knowledge to operate in a civilized society, especially in case of those students who supposed to work for the public sector, in which case there have to be a solid institution which organizes a state-program where the students are tested at least once in their life, but outside of that, the public schools are completely unnecessary, and the private schools are doing a much better job at preparing the students for such a test in case of parents who are incapable of home-schooling their children, so long as there are the education-vouchers.
Remember that teacherās unions work for the government and so does npr.
They spam your mind with propaganda.
I canāt wait till the critical mass gets red pilled
Many of the public schools have been taken over by cultural marxists. Generous vouchers are going to be the only way we can get control over the education of our kids.
Notice he gave only part of what the first amendment states instead of fully laying it out.
It pisses me off that at 2:18 you say āloss groundā without defining what that means and by what metric standard because if itās relative to their class than thatās not a viable statistic but if itās overall then it is
Read https://mises.org/library/trouble-vouchers for actual sound arguments against vouchers
Vouchers will allow the inner cities ghettos and barios to overrun and ruin the private school system like they ruined public schools.
Funny so just because the private school cherry picks makes it a negative thing.. what about public school leading to destroying of a kids life for not being able to provide better education.. Why didn't you mention that??? Fucking fake news alert.. Yet Again!!! No use of viewing your channel.
What in the f is this guy talking about?! The study, which he sources, does not say anything about students in the program loosing ground, let alone significantly! Did they even read the studies? One of the studies even says, "in three to four years the voucher-eligible schools will have improved by one standard deviation"!!
National propaganda radio
Would this apply for college education? Also, a problem I see with school vouchers is that we are diverting public funding to private schools (simply because they are in fact better than our current public system). This will further decrease funding in the public sector, because the private schools will be overrun and obviously cannot handle a large amount of students, so they will have to turn a lot of kids away. In principle, I do not believe public funding needs to be given to PRIVATE school. They are in the private sector and should stay that way. What is to say that rich parents couldn't bribe their way into elite private schools and take a spot from a low-income voucher kid? We see this happen in college education already.
Secondly, I think we need to focus on improve our public education and putting more money into it, instead of private education systems. This benefits a much larger portion of our children population, since only a small percentage go to private schools. Public schools, although underfunded, teach valuable life lessons. When you grow up in a bubble, you tend to be an adult that lives in a bubble. In short, I think the long-term solution is more funding into PUBLIC EDUCATION. My grandmother was an educator for many public school systems in the midwest and greatly disliked DeVos. I think DeVos' intentions are.. okay, but her solution can easily be bent to favor her private school buddies by allowing them to garner public funding, which it should not be used for.
Increase funding for public schools, I was thankfully raised in a well-funded public school (thankfully due to fundraisers), but I was one of the lucky ones. We spend an enormous amount on the military in wars that could have been avoided. Divert that money into our children, especially the ones who need it the most– our middle and lower class children!
Besides Public School…
Prison is the only other Government Institution which doesn't allow a family to choose location & institution….
We get to choose which Post Office to drop our mail or rent a P.O. Box… we can choose which EDD or DMV office to do business… we choose which Junior College and State College to attend or which Metro Station, Bus or Train to take.. We choose which parks and beaches to visit…and which Libraries to checkout books…
Voucher students receive less money that they would in a state school… uh yea that's the whole fucking point. Government spends 100 times more than a private school to educate a student. The whole point is to save taxpayer money by punishing wasteful and poor schools.
Following Blaineās principal, public servants shouldnāt be allowed to donate to religious charity or institutions. Which is ridiculous.
So if it benefits student left in public schools doesnāt that undercut the argument that voucher programs defund and thereby damage the capacity of public schools to thrive? Either the lack of funding is somehow beneficial to public schools (seems unlikely), or the lack of students is beneficial to public schools (which would seem to be consistent with the massive amount of data on class size, administrative staff to student ratio etc), not to mention, if the public schools still receive any of the funding for that student that participated in the voucher program, then they are better off on the āfunding per studentā metric as well. Seem like pretty thin arguments against voucher programs.
ANYONE who has ever taught at or been enrolled in a really bad public school, and has also taught at or been enrolled in a good private school, will without a doubt agree that at least 90% of students would benefit greatly (and by that I mean life changing benefit that could be the difference between ending up in jail or being a successful doctor or lawyer) from switching schools. There are of course many children who have horrible parents and it will never matter where they attend school because they are doomed from the start, but most student at these public schools are having their lives ruined by the incompetence of the school leadership and teachers caring more about a teachers union than what is best for children.
I think the big issue for all 2020 elections we should have school vouchers, the enemy of this country is public schools. About 90% of all public school teachers are liberals or afraid to say different. They have brainwashed children and then when some get to college most of them are at the Liberal launch pad. Majority of public school teachers are opinionated monsters. It didn't used to be that way but it sure is now
No but Democrats love that the public school system forces their way on children. So they don't care about actually good education and competitive schools that can be designed to teach specific students in a certain way rather than cooping everyone up in the same awful factory of depression, oppression and wasted childhood
Why shouldn't voucher schools be able to "cherry pick" high performing children? Since when did children become a public resources. The implication here is that public schools need studious, courteous, obedient children to sit in-between the loud, obnoxious, disorganized children. This makes a class of 26 kids easier to manage when the t a her can ignore the 12 "good" children. Also, the $13,000 per head allowed for the good children is redistributed, with maybe $3,000 being spend on them while $40,000 can be spent on the special needs kids. That's what this "cherry picking" "problem" is all about. Why wouldn't the parents not "good" students not want to take them out of that system and put them somewhere they won't be ignored, but challenged to grow to their full potential?
Blaine Blaine, James G. Blaine, the Continental liar from the state of Maine.
Why should I pay to educate someone else's children? Parents should be taxed extra to pay for their kid's education.
To say this is something that ābenefit studentsā blatantly ignores the wide spread corruption that has plagued programs and ideas similar to this. The voucher schools, by definition, are private schools and DO NOT have to follow the same rules and laws as public schools do. They are also governed by PRIVATELY APPOINTED BOARD of DIRECTORS. When there is no oversight people will swindle away tax dollars. Still not convinced… then check the facts and stats yourself for voucher schools… go for it!
