re: #62 Unshaken Defiance

Fix The Schools. No forced busing required.
We all saw the movie Stand And deliver… Texts held back. No air conditioning and 100F+. Horrific bathrooms and careless teachers.

This is all too much like my other parent centric unpopular opinion-Home schooling. On one hand it’s how fundies screw over their kids and that’s abominable. OTOH imho it’s also how parents keep kids out of frighteningly bad schools and take on the burden themselves.

Most parents don’t have the training or knowledge to do an effective job of home schooling. If the parents have to work, that also limits their time.

The other idea discussed, that equal amounts should be spent per student throughout the state does not address the issue of poorer students actually requiring more resources to compensate for the fact that their parents are generally unable to provide real assistance to help them in their classes. Wealthier families can provide extra tutors and an educationally richer home life.
