I've been suggesting that, at every opportunity, for quite a few years. Typically it goes like this:
"I have to pay my mortgage, I can't afford private school."
"Isn't it better to give up a house, than your child's mind?"
Or:
"I pay school taxes!"
"Public ed is welfare and about as wholesome as a covid shot, which is also free."
Most people are herd animals who are convinced that no good will come of thinking for themselves. They constantly strive to keep up appearances -- the career, the house, the car, the college for their offspring. It's a natural life cycle and they dare not deviate from it.
Educational cooperatives have to become the Next Big Thing. It’s already catching on. It’s perfect for impoverished school districts who are stuck with the scum of the crop of teachers, transferred from elsewhere because firing them for cause is too big a bureaucratic headache with the union and all. It’s perfect for struggling middle-class families who can’t afford private school. Potentially, it could be real integration of the children of concerned families of all races.
You can call opponents of the movement RACISTS!D
Total win/win.
Take that, Randi Whine-garten!
