Jindal is such a loser...but many of his points are fair I think...
my main issue with this devos woman is she knows nothing or cares nothing about public education so how can she be secretary of education? but at the same time i think we have to look seriously at vouchers, school choice.. all of it.. we cannot ask people to send their kids to failing schools because "hey they will fail even more without your kids!"... most people cannot just move and if they live in an area with bad schools what are they supposed to do??? I think we should give them the option of vouchers and if they feel they can do better outside the public school system that should be up to them... why should public schools have a monopoly on the money if they suck decade after decade?
i understand the argument that if you take money out of the public school system then it will suck even more...i get it.. but surely we can explore some ways of approaching this issue rather than insisting people send their children to crap schools??
i have not studied the dc public education but it seems to me things got a lot better after all the charter schools popped up?
like i said.. i don't know that much about the issue.. but on principle i feel every American should be entitled to the money corresponding to their child's cost of public education and if they can find a better way with that money they should have options.... maybe this should only be the case for failing schools?
