Public schools that have a critical mass of kids who are not interested in learning will hold back even those students that want to learn and those teachers that want to teach. Everyone is too busy catering to the lowest common denominator to actually educate anyone. Charters and private schools offer the only way out for most kids - so why is school choice a bad thing? School choice is sort of like voter ID - it’s so common sensical that it seems foolish to oppose it.
Again I have experience in this. Once a private school takes State money, it starts to become a State school. If the government schools are so bad, why are you pushing for THE SAME thing to happen in private schools?
