A school voucher program is in the Texas legislature right now
Hopefully they will pass it and parents can get their kids out of failing schools. Then those schools will realize they have to answer for their failures.
The state is taking over Houston ISD. HISD says they have made improvements. That “improvement” was one school went from average grades of “f” to “d”. Probably by adding points to the students real scores.
I remember when my school integrated back in the 60’s the black kids that were making good grades were denigrated by their peers for trying to be like “whitey”
My neighbor is about to take their kids out of a local school that is going to a 4 day school week. Their son was being bullied by 2 boys and was suspended when he defended himself (oh, he only got one day suspension and they got 2).
From an article:
“Researchers found that voucher programs in some states led to worse test score results than natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and even the COVID-19 pandemic.
To sum it up: early voucher studies with small sample sizes showed mostly positive results, while the past decade or so of statewide results have largely shown poor outcomes, especially around test scores.”
Yes the schools performances are worse after the kids that want to learn leave, and the remaining students continue to fail.
It’s obvious the Left wants to keep the problem in place and use it to push their agenda. Gun free zones are target rich environments. But people are waking up finally
