How do we know the private schools do better than the public schools. What data can we point to to make that claim? I ask private school supporters what accountability model do the private schools use? Most of them don't know what I am talking about. lol I have no problem with private schools, however most of them were/are just segregation academies that just spit baseless rhetoric to justify separating their kids from the public schools. Thats your right as well but you don't get taxpayer money to pay for it. Fund it with your private money. How is that not logical? We don't like welfare in the country unless its welfare that benefits the people that already have the means. Thats backwards. Then they want the money with none of the oversight or policy. BS. I do agree that change needs to happen in public schools. The testing is a real and big issue. They need less oversight as well to allow schools to cater more to their communities and stakeholders. Thats the power of the citizens though. We could get it done but we can't if we just gonna walk away and point fingers. The public school system is the powerhouse of the country. Instead of us wanting to fix it, we want to strip it of all its resources and take it back to our friends and those around us who would benefit. We don't care about the society as a whole. Thats my issue. Come together and force the powers that be to make the schools work for us. But I will never agree to this... never. ITs just more rich people welfare and a guise to benefit those who already have the means.

Thats illegal too and counterproductive but ok...you like breaking the law huh lol just kidding

Yeh that sounds like rhetoric than reality. How can illegals do all of that if they are illegal lol. But ok....

You can relocate schoos whenever you want. Just move into the district.

are you being serious or you just putting out rhetoric?

Why do high school students need to be paid to play football or any other sport for that matter? A public education is a free education.

HB2 is written to allow funds for only 12,500 (max) in the first year. There aren’t 2 separate pools of students. Public & private are in the same pool. Including families with students already paying private school tuition for their students. There is no uppermost income limit to receive a voucher. That’s one of many issues wrong with HB2. Another one is the fact that students don’t have to be leaving a “failing” school in order get the voucher. When HB2 says “chocie” they really mean it. Vouchers can go anywhere - including private - for any reason. You don’t have to state why you want to leave where you are.

Runningman, I wouldn’t necessarily call it momentum. It’s more like maintaining the status quo. To try to put this into the right context without being so blunt, these Alabama coaches leave a whole lot to be desired. Simply put, they fall short and a school like Biloxi is perfectly ok with that.

The game is talking smack about public education to make it appear inferior on the overall to private. Look, I’m sorry if your kids were only test-trained in public school and didn’t get the education they needed. Yours is not the story for everyone, including me. So you insistence on calling the entire public school system a “fraud” is simply choosing inflammatory language to elicit a knee jerk reaction. And that’s a game I won’t play. If public education is broken, we owe it to our children to fix it - not find workarounds to it.
