Folks are so idealistic. Students don't learn when there's a critical mass of thugs and thugettes who are allowed to get out of control. The only way to save good schools will be to keep every classroom over-crowded so students who would drag the others down don't have any empty seats to fill.

It's sad, it really is. But as a retired teacher with a variety of experiences I find what happens to be amusing. So often, teachers think their high-quality students learn because their teachers are uniquely qualified to inspire those young 'uns. It isn't pretty when they encounter the lower tier of students. But in a Schadenfreude kind of way, it sure is amusing.

just offer exactly what they are paying per student right now.

I would take 10 students at that rate and teach them K-12 and finish in 10 years not 13

“These accounts differ from vouchers in that parents can use the money to finance several educational needs simultaneously. This distinction is important. In 2009, the Arizona supreme court ruled that vouchers violate the state’s constitutional provisions against using public money for private or religious purposes. But in 2014, the state supreme court upheld a lower-court ruling determining that ESAs are constitutional because they are fundamentally different from vouchers.”

Why clearly they are! One’s called a voucher and the other is called an ESA. As different as night and day!

IIRC Sun City was exempt from tax collection destined for public schools. How about letting parents opt out of the public system, keeping their money to send their kids to whatever school fits best.
