Our children are guaranteed a public education for our children's sake. That is like saying our children are guaranteed enough food to sustain life. It is more like an insurance policy for when better methods fail. Kids whose parents can't afford better are given a free education at public schools and a free breakfast and lunch.
But, is it better. With the statistics I've seen, Charter Schools, Home Schooling and Private Schools have better results. And I'm sure they will get fed at home.
What is this big thing with Democrats always pushing for a Public Education. Unions and Control and Indoctrination to the philosophy that the Democrats want to instill in your children. They support the Unions and try to get them higher pay and benefits, job security no matter how bad of a job they do, etc, "All for the children" and as such the Unions return the favor with more Democratic v**es. Result: More Democratic power and control of you and your families education and indoctrination and your lives from cradle to grave.
Private schools are often too expensive and available only to those that can afford it. And there are usually waiting lines. They tend to give a better education by being free to hire better teachers and fire under performing teachers. They are also often Religious institutions and run by a Religious Organization. As such they also tend to enforce and teach a more moral society based on helping others get ahead and not just giving a hand out to those in need. And they even do that more proficiently. They are also better at teaching discipline. The Religious based Private Schools also help teach the students on the fundamentals of the religion of the parents, reinforced at home, and with the intentions of building not just educated children, but future adults of good character.
(As an aside, I am a graduate of religious schooling. My high school had to close down. Ever since, the alumni have donated thousand and millions to the religious order that taught them, and also to other schools where this religious order teaches. Pure generosity from the heart. Providing many scholarships to poorer children here and there throughout America. Private education. Yes.)
Charter Schools are also an alternative to the public education. They offer more choices to parents and a more specialized curriculum. They also don't have all of those bull s**t union rules protecting teachers at the expense of the children. And Charter Schools may unionize, but should never be allowed to join or affiliate with Public Employee Unions, or they will ultimately down grade and defeat their purpose.
Home schooling is a wonderful experience for children, often giving them hands on teaching and special care by someone who actually cares for the child, and the results of their special care. They have results that are superior to that of Public School children. I've seen articles from public school teachers complaining that the children they get, aren't being taught some basic fundamentals, before coming to public school, making them more baby sitter then teacher. And now they are complaining about parents doing exactly that. Crazy.
What is needed is free choice, or even a voucher system. That should mean some sort of financial assistance for parents that home school. Assistance to private schools, but only to the amount of assistance given to the public school. Same for charter schools. Religious schools get a slightly less contribution of state money, based on the time spent on general education, and not religious indoctrination. And all of this based on the results of the education given and absorbed by the students, in their pr********n for adulthood and independence. That means some form of universal testing, before and after, on general education and specialties. If you want the money, the State has a right to see the results of their investment.
And yes, the State has an interest in their investment to insure that there is a new generation coming along that can support the State's fundamental jobs, and the society as a whole, that is free to succeed, and make their own personal choices, based on desires and abilities, and not State indoctrination.
