Gold standard of education is teaching the younger generations how to learn things on their own. We used to do this at the foundation of this country. Where homeschooling was common and your average 3rd grader knew what a marine biologist needed 2 semesters in college to learn today.
Agreed. It's what every classical Christian school worth its salt strives to do.
But we also need to have an adult conversation about ideology.
Wherever Johnny and Jenny go, they're going to be indoctrinated based on the values of the institution.
Allowing local communities to decide what those values are to then determine the indoctrination of their schools is by far the best possible solution, IMHO.
But you're still paying egregious property tax which is then paid out to Charters, which are operated regionally by corrupt cronies of establishment political machines. You're just using talking points paid for from the enormous profits taken in the charter scam.
You have me confused with someone who isn't thinking for themselves. and you write as though, because I'm for vouchers, I must also be for property taxes.
It's not either-or. It's both-and.
I'm for vouchers. And I applaud efforts in Florida and elsewhere to end property tax.
You're pretty doom and gloom on this topic. I invite you to look at the trajectory. Tariffs. End of Education Department. More people voting Republican in EVERY DISTRICT in the last election.
Unless I'm mistaken, things are looking for good, for 2026 and beyond.
Not sure where you're getting your information, but school choice is the GOLD STANDARD for education.
Providing families with vouchers so that they can send their kids to the best schools? It can only DRIVE UP THE QUALITY OF EVERY OTHER SCHOOL.
