    I live in Indiana, we led the voucher program. Our public schools are struggling to fund programs, private schools can choose their students and we have students thrown back into public schools and the funding stays with the private school. The funding doesn’t follow the student. We too threw out the income requirements, our tax dollars are now subsidizing wealthy parents private school education of their children!

    Private elementary schools range from $20K-40K. A voucher won't cover the entire cost. How will people come up with the difference? Couldn't agree with Sunny and Whoopi more, the voucher program is a way to dismantle public schools. Part of the problem is the Federal Govt mandates on special education, but they don't completely fund the mandates.

      I just commented the same thing the catch with the voucher program is it possibly wont cover the entire tuition leaving you on the hook for any other bills/expenses. It really doesn't work for the middle class. Its another scheme for corporations to suck Americans dry of their money. I wouldn't be surprised that they are actively trying to sabotage the public school system to get these voucher programs into the front and center. That way they can claim "look the public school system doesn't work"

      Due to government education, 50% of graduates are illiterate. "Half the children in this country, when they graduate, are unable read their diplomas." Legislators are all about elitist rule, keeping the masses uneducated. Only those who employ public schools should finance them.
      Children cannot function in the basics. It is all about agendas, not learning, to make the populous adhere to insane and deadly agendas to maintain elitists rule and control. The Bible was once the standard and the main book taught in all schools and was respected. Also, Noah Webster's "Blue Back Speller" was part of the curriculum and is still sold on Amazon. It taught upright morals to children as well as the Bible. "The great American educator Noah Webster first published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language, otherwise known as the Blue Back Speller, in 1783. His goal was to provide a uniquely American, Christ-centered approach to training children. "Little did he know that this remarkable gem would become the staple for parents and educators for more than a century and would help to build the most literate nation in the history of the West." Many of the Founding Fathers employed this book to home school their children, including Benjamin Franklin who taught his granddaughter to read, spell, and pronounce words using Old Blue Back.”
      What progressives are teaching in public schools: "My daughter just started second grade @MetroSchools. I will be pulling her out immediately. Her first “English” lesson of the year is teaching her that white people are bad, mean & racist against African-Americans & Mexicans. My daughter, 7, is not a racist nor is her family.”

      And if they squeak in, they are quickly sent back to public school. This is part of what makes public school look like they underperform. All of the "good kids" who will get good grades no matter where they are educated, are siphoned from the public schools. How many people were helped by the "smart kids" in class? How many people were grouped with a student because the teacher wanted to put two or three kids together so they could share their knowledge and experience and teach each other? It is hard to do that in a classroom anymore when almost no one can read, and few have any confidence in their educational abilities.

      Thank you for pointing this out, this is part of fixing the system. If students who aren’t just naturally good at academics fall behind, there really isn’t support for them. It’s not about “oh just pass them it doesn’t matter” , it’s about giving quality education to ALL students. This actually hits close to home because I was a struggling student my entire life. Almost never got As and Bs on anything. Partly was my fault yes but, it was also the fact that the “support” I tried to get didn’t really help me. People need to realize that a student who fails all the time doesn’t mean they are broken, something else could be the reason if schools took the time to tailor the education for that student instead of shoving them in a “special” class, which is degrading, humiliating and also DOESN’T HELP. I really need people to understand that the answer is not private schools, the answer is to put more money into giving quality education to ALL students regardless of income and regardless of how they learn.

      Exactly! Public schools are required to accept all students who walk through their doors, regardless of socio/economic status, mental health/behavioral issues/IQ/family disfunction etc. Private schools can screen kids, and accept only the creme dela creme. No wonder they look good in comparison. Vouchers are just a drop in the bucket towards improving education for the masses. The reality of the situation is, most kids are going to go through our public school system, and we need to figure out how to fix it. (without government interference from the left or right!)

    Here in North Carolina, charter schools will take students to get their voucher money. When the student is too much of a challenge for the charter schools due to behavior or special needs, they are no longer allowed to be at the charter school. At that point, they return to the public school for the rest of the school year, while the charter school keeps all the voucher money for that child.
    Another concern is that the public schools have all sorts of testing requirements and training that they must follow. The charter schools have nada.

      @@HH-gv8mx OP is partially correct... in many cases openly (or quietly) for profit voucher schools open in failing districts and attract a slice of the students and voucher $ from the public school. Say voucher school gets 12k per student via voucher. They then spend 8k per student on education and profit (or selective salary are much higher than others). This is nefarious in 2 ways, one it sucks $ out of the total education system for no education benefit. Two it often slices off kids with better home situations to the voucher school and leave behind a tougher subset for the public school.
      OP is partially wrong because this isn't categorically the case for vouchers. I.e. in several settings it is genuinely enhancing school choice and people who have had bad experiences in certain public schools have other options. Also not all of the vouchers are at 100% of per student funds. I.e. if a voucher is for say 50% of per student funds then really both sides could be fine because the public school could actually have more $ net per remaining pupil.
      The real issue where I would agree with OP is in struggling communities it subdivides the student talent and leaves behind a pool of kids with fewer positive role models.
      The overall problem isn't really vouchers though but lack of any reasonable plan from public education on improving quality. Vouchers keep coming around bc public education is rudderless.

      Due to government education, 50% of graduates are illiterate. "Half the children in this country, when they graduate, are unable read their diplomas." Legislators are all about elitist rule, keeping the masses uneducated. Only those who employ public schools should finance them.
      Children cannot function in the basics. It is all about agendas, not learning, to make the populous adhere to insane and deadly agendas to maintain elitists rule and control. The Bible was once the standard and the main book taught in all schools and was respected. Also, Noah Webster's "Blue Back Speller" was part of the curriculum and is still sold on Amazon. It taught upright morals to children as well as the Bible. "The great American educator Noah Webster first published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language, otherwise known as the Blue Back Speller, in 1783. His goal was to provide a uniquely American, Christ-centered approach to training children. "Little did he know that this remarkable gem would become the staple for parents and educators for more than a century and would help to build the most literate nation in the history of the West." Many of the Founding Fathers employed this book to home school their children, including Benjamin Franklin who taught his granddaughter to read, spell, and pronounce words using Old Blue Back.”
      What progressives are teaching in public schools: "My daughter just started second grade @MetroSchools. I will be pulling her out immediately. Her first “English” lesson of the year is teaching her that white people are bad, mean & racist against African-Americans & Mexicans. My daughter, 7, is not a racist nor is her family.”
      Jesus Christ, the thrill of hope, for a sick, hurting, and weary world-Romans 10:9-10 from the Bible: “That if you confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.”

Bottom line is that private schools will just raise prices enough to keep out the ones they do not want. Vouchers will not help.

So, as Sunny said it truly is the more well-off parents that are the ones who would benefit. The parents who are working 3 jobs just to put food on the table could never make the tuition - even with the voucher. Public schools need more teachers, smaller classrooms, and a little freedom to teach how we know is best for the children sitting in front of us. We ARE professionals in our field.

    It has cost more than double the initial predicted cost in the first year. Over 60% of school vouchers go to those already going to private school. Private schools can discriminate for any reason. They do not have to meet the same educational standards of public schools. Also, oversight is by an out-of state entity.

    THANK YOU, SUNNY & SARA! They came with the actual facts. Not just feelings, belief, and ultimately myths. There is no scientific evidence that private schools produce better student outcomes than public schools. Just that kids with different resources tend to go to private school and those resources pretty much explain everything, NOT the school.
    This is why we need better scientific literacy in this country. Alyssa, who I respect for her contributions to discussions very much, described graduation patterns that cannot be causally linked to the voucher program. The change in graduation rates in DC from one year to another can be pretty much entirely credited to gentrification. DC has pushed out kids from poor families into surrounding poor suburbs and instead boasts any improved outcome without acknowledging they traded out the kids from poor families for kids from rich families. Most educational outcomes can be explained by family income alone.
    DCPS is one of the ONLY sites of a scientific study using a causal research design to compare the outcomes of students who had an equal chance to go to private schools versus public schools. Sunny summarized the findings accurately. There were not only no differences, but there were signs that math skills were worse for students who went to private school. (Likely for the reasons Sara cited: way less regulation, which means private schools can use whatever curricula they want, hire personnel with whatever training they want, kick out any kid they want to make sure their data only reflects the kids they want, refuse to address any disability they want because they are not bound by laws like IDEA the same way public schools are). Once certain lobby groups got wind of these findings, they made sure that certain members of Congress slipped into the law funding the vouchers and the scientific study of this program to no longer allow causal research designs (i.e., designs where a kid had an equal chance of going to private or public school). THAT's what you call ideological interference with the truth.
    The View should bring in an expert on the key predictors of student outcomes and the role that segregation (esp. housing) has played in ensuring that resources are inadequately distributed. The corporations/organizations behind charters and private schools want tax dollars but don't want to follow any of the rules that public schools must abide by. These corporations/organizations tend to point to teachers' unions as the primary difference between public and private, but the key differences are pretty fundamental -- like how scientifically supported anything they teach is and which kids they are legally mandated to serve. There is some evidence that charters when regulated with the same rigor as public schools could produce better student outcomes. But the vast majority of charters are allowed much looser rules (charters also pick and choose which students to let in and kick them out when those students could potentially mess up their performance indicators; basically, charters are cheating on the test). So, please, View, keep educating the public about the facts of public versus private school education. And the real predictors of student outcomes.

    • @shadetails2133
      @shadetails2133 4 месяца назад

      @@kheldaryt, in terms of possible reasons why increasing numbers of people are interested in leaving public school, such a discussion is a complicated one and the reasons are sometimes different depending on circumstances. First, as I noted in my first comment, there is a myth prevalent and longstanding that private schools are inherently better than public schools at improving student academic outcomes. The scientific data simply do not support this general notion. However, we know even less about specialized schools -- arts, technology, CTE, LD, specific developmental delay. Advocates argue that perhaps the difference could be detected for kids showing particular profiles of strengths/needs. We would need a causal research design to test that out and there would need to be enough kids fitting the specialization with an equal chance to go public versus private included in the study to give each school condition a fair shot. I bet that if a school were to find an economic way to reduce class sizes; fully staff with the necessary expertise such as specialists in specific LDs, speech and language therapists, school psychologists, art/tech/CTE masters; and update/maintain school facilities necessary for these specialized learning strengths/needs, that school would serve their students well, regardless of funding stream.
      Second, I would guess that the increasingly hostile and orchestrated attacks on public education (e.g., "failing public schools", "greedy teachers' unions", and "parental choice" against "wokism"/"grooming", loosening of regulations for taxpayer funding of religious schools) and education/scholarship in general have added to parental distrust of yet another democratic institution. Individual politicians have run exactly on attacking public schools as harming children and keeping parents in the dark. And these politicians armed only with anecdotes or just made-up claims got elected. Added to the myth that private schools are inherently better, parents may have more reason to want to switch to private schools, where they think they have more say over what kind of education their kid receives. Perhaps wealthy parents who have financial control over a private school could have such power (including forcing a school to ignore their kids' rule-breaking and potential harm on other students). But for everyday parents coming in through a voucher or scholarship, there is little recourse when the private school fails to address the special education needs of your kid or kicks out your kid, because most private schools are not regulated the same way as public schools. Just like public schools, I have heard some private schools are great when it comes to particular kids. But it is tough to know until your kid tries the new school. And again, we need causal research and most private schools do NOT want to participate in a real head-to-head comparison with public schools (i.e., kids have an equal chance of attending public versus private school; private school want to select/reject students and public schools can't do that).
      The reason I see as the most valid for families wanting an alternative to their neighborhood public school is their neighborhood is scary and desperate. Therefore, their neighborhood school is also scary and desperate, because the school draws its strengths and needs from its surrounding neighborhood. That's what happened for me. Our local public system allowed families to petition to go to another public school and the key reason was out of concern for safety which in turns affects student academic outcomes. This safety problem is a SOCIETALLY determined problem, NOT the school's fault and I'm not sure any number of student resource officers (code for cops based in schools) would be enough bandaid to fix this problem. Instead, society needs to tackle issues that society seems divided on actually caring to solve. Specifically, we Americans just don't want to really talk about social class especially as measured by income, the difficulty of improving our social class regardless of effort and rule-following, and the de-segregation of our neighborhoods by social class. Yes, we have a problem with segregation by race, but I think the data would argue that segregation by class explains most of the damage done by segregation. Because every single major life outcome in the U.S. is shaped by social class. By the safety, security, opportunity, and protections from consequences of mistakes that comes with social class.
      So, those are some reasons that come to mind, when it comes to the increasing number of parents thinking about taking their kid out of their neighborhood public school.

AND, IT ALL STARTS AT HOME. If you don't sit down with your child and discuss their homework NIGHTLY, or teach them the basic skill of paying attention, when they get into school they will take their bad habits and run with them with their peers. PARENTS, you chose to bring the child into this world, they are NOT just a tax right off for you. Pay attention to them, teach them early on about learning skills, and stop making it the responsibility of teachers to do the job you chose in the first place.

    Here's the thing... 1. Private schools have a limited number of openings, and 2. just because it's a private school doesn't mean it's a GOOD private school. Not every child is going to be able to attend a good private school. And there's no guarantee that the voucher in question will be enough to cover the tuition of a good private school. So what happens instead is that a lot of kids who can't afford a good private school STILL can't afford a good private school, and the folks using these vouchers are the ones already sending their kids to private schools. It becomes a coupon for their tuition and does nothing to actually help those kids who need it.
    It would be SO MUCH BETTER to instead fund those public schools where it's needed and build up various programs, particularly those assisting kids with special needs, as those are the ones who really tend to end up getting left out.

    I know quite a few teachers who have left the profession. The number one reasons for ALL of them was 'safety'. These teachers had been physically attacked both in school and on the grounds, they'd been spat on, had things thrown at them, been sworn at - by both students and parents. The kids had no consequences for their behaviors and were allowed to continue to misbehave in schools while their teachers struggled to figure out how to get through a day safely. While they were all offered raises or bonuses to return to teaching even in different schools, not a single one did because no amount of money was worth the physical and psychological pain they chanced going through again. Until kids are held accountable for their behavior by the school systems AND their parents, we will continue to lose teachers. No amount of money is going to elevate the school experience if violence and disrespect for the teachers is allowed to continue unabated.

    In Texas our government has been pulling funds away from schools and teachers pay.The classrooms are overstuffed and under staffed. This has been a plan for decades. The kids with learning disabilities or non Christians can be kicked out of private school schools. It sounds great but what if a family can’t get a full scholarship , Low wage working parents have to drive the kids with several kids don’t have access to a car or cant get off from work. What about kids all over the city that cant carpool or go to birthday parties or walk home? Where are we going to get the money to fund these for profit private schools? Thats right, our governments.
    Will our parents with exclusive private schools and huge tuition allow their children to mingle with the common folks?
    There are a lot of questions that need to be answered.

    In Alabama we have a public trust that you can put state income tax into. There is a cap on the fund. It’s not taking money from the earmarked education fund but it can be used for poor families’ children who are in failing schools. It’s not a voucher. It is regulated in regards to who gets it. And why. I taught at a school that existed solely to educate those in these failing schools. It’s a non profit that benefits from this fund. But it’s a case by case situation.
    We are failing our children. And public school teachers are stretched so thin. Yay for Alyssa about a teacher GI bill. If only.

    Second, several religious schools closed in this area, i see this as a way to increase funding for them and dissolve the public school system all together thus still not solving the issue of educating the children.

  • @sawyer7191

    As I reflect on my childhood as a black kid, I think the leading cause to why public schools tend to fall behind with most students STARTS with the inability to connect education with opportunity. That there leads to a lack of desire and engagement and respect for learning, and you tend to see those that already making honor roll separate themselves giving a further lack of engagement of kids in public schools making public school feel more menacing. As a kid, you can’t focus on education if you have other distractions that make learning less “necessary” to where you are emotionally. Kids are smart and will learn if they want to learn, money doesn’t fix that because there are sooooo many instances where people do not appropriate money for the interest of the student at a younger age and making the earlier ages interested in education over other distraction. That was what it was like for me and the many friends I have.

    Voucher programs are a bait and switch. Giving kids vouchers to go other schools does not mean they're going to get in the schools. A lot of the top schools are rigged. They keep their numbers looking good by only admitting kids who already match the level of the kids already going there. It's just like the Ivies in college. Of course, you're going to be highly ranked if you're highly selective. These rankings organizations sometimes give you more points for having higher requirements. All private schools are not the same. There are some private schools that people look at as one step away from a public school. The rich are already taking up these vouchers, which essentially amounts to a tax break for them, and some of these schools raise their tuition to make it harder for just anyone to attend. I'm willing to bet anyone that's ever worked for a community college, in college admissions, or in any capacity dealing with kids getting started in college; they will tell you that you can't really tell with a lot of students if they went to private or public school except the ones that are drastically behind. Cities across this country have been closing public schools over the past 10-15 years. All kind of funding had been cut. What did you really think was going to happen if you crammed more students into fewer schools with less resources? I know people who've gone to private school where they had to pay for everything. Their parents have to pay for their lunch on top of tuition. Some private schools have closed since the Bush era as well. Also, going to a private school is not going to stop school shootings unless you're school is like a fortress or living inside the walls of a Kingdom

    I’ve taught in both public and private and just like everything else. There are pros and cons, and there are similarities and differences and how the students are taught and how the culture and climate is ran. I’ve had good and bad experiences in both. However, I support parents, children, and families having a choice. I also agree that those who need help should be able to access it.
    My children have been in private schools for most of their schooling and my husband and I chose it for several reasons, one being we are Christians and we were happy to find Christian schools that support our beliefs. Second,our daughter was bullied and started experiencing depression at the tender age of 8. So, we had to do something different and it helped her thrive. So, you have to do what’s best for your family.
    I live in Illinois and we don’t have the voucher system but I do believe we should have better support for families who choose outside of the public school system because we are still hard working, tax paying citizens too.
