SCHOOL FUNDING: Should pay for alternates to public education

Public schools funds come from every person who works, owns property or pays rent until they die. When you pay this long for education, why don’t I have the right to educate my children where I want? Many public schools have gotten out of control with drugs, gangs and unwanted teaching i.e. CRT, child mutilation (sex change) and poor-quality education causing many people to want their children out of public schooling. This leads parents to choose home or private schooling where the indoctrination is done with the parents blessing, not public school boards whims, for an easy example our local college school board running amuck with bad decisions.

Our school systems could learn from the auto industry. When the foreign automakers came to the U.S., a lot of them brought in cheap made cars which they kept improving by making them run longer with more add-ons, causing our own auto industry to improve their product.

Alternate school funding, should be done like insurance that requires educational results. We need to educate our kids to become healthy and functional members of society. The over control of alternate schooling by a failing public system having control of school money, still leaves alternate schooling without the funding, that we have paid for. Why should an alternate system be kept from this funding when they often do a better job of getting our youth to adulthood?

School funding should be on an equal basis for all students not just teacher unions to control. When public schools improve their educational system they will receive more funding with more students. In the meantime, let’s improve all students with more funding and a standard educational test for all students in the same grade level.
