Speken like an apologist. Our kids get fed political pap all the time. See the schools districts bus in their students to the isconsin protests. Adults using grade school kids for forward apolitical agenda. You can count on a society raised on choices and best value for the dollar tradtion to expand. PS are like Detroit of the 70’s…. morph, change, or die. Pay not for the upgrade, just pay the share we are entitled to.. that portion that would have gone to support the SPS system. We will handle the rest. For those that can or want to be save form SPS… don’t let poverty hold them hostage. Maybe, when the public schools can rise again to the top 5 countries and the outcomes reflect the expenditures… the issue can be revisited. It can happen. why pay world class taxes for third world outcomes? Just because they are Democrats? Tell ya what.. then just reduce my taxes, by 13K… and I will take care of mine, Did you ever consider that the controlled enviornment works better? Let’s come back in 10 years…. let’s compare the outcome of Seattle Prep grads to Roosevelt HS grads, or WSH grads, or Sealth… then tell the Roosevelt parents…. some of yours could have gone to Prep… but we choose to fund medicrity at best, as our world standard education contribution.
Public schools were designed to create a labor shortage. It was less expensive and more proftiable for industries to use power looms and mechanical aids to sew shirts. All that spare child labor went into warehouses to sop up excess child labor and raise salaries of adult workers. That’s the idealogical foundation of public schools. warehouse spare labor.
