Would my idea for school choice work?

[strawberryapple]

The schools would both be paid for by tax dollars.

Red School Focus

*Reading

*Writing

*Math

*Science

*Computer & AI

*Intro To Trades

*Spanish

Blue School Focus

*Creative Pronouns

*DEI 101

*Critical Race Theory

*Mostly Peaceful Protests

*Racism Basics

*Anger Management

*Wokeness

Just take your school vouchers and send your rug rats to the school color of your choice.

Perfect. Although a better idea would be to hand the parents the X dollars they provide to educate a student on an annual basis. It's up to the parent how they are spent.

[strawberryapple]

I thought about that too, but I think someone would complain that you can’t use tax dollars for private use.
Even though Biden used tax dollars to house illegals in private hotels, and he also use tax dollars to pay off private student loans.

[Mike_Hum]

Well of course they would complain. It would be called "racist" immediately.

[strawberryapple]

I’m sure you know this, but if you googled it, you would find out that private schools are often cheaper than public.
They would also say that the private option is already there so why should the government pay.
That’s why my idea was to keep it publish schools, but just two versions.

It's obscene. Chicago spends $24k per pupil: only 43% of Chicago Public Schools (CPS) students in grades 3–8 read at grade level,

$24k pays tuition AND room/board at practically every college in my state.

[strawberryapple]

When you mention private schools on this website, everybody tends to think Harvard and Yale. I guess they can’t comprehend that not all private schools are prestigious Ivy League schools

[Mike_Hum]

And even smaller. Parents get $20k per year to educate their kid. 5 of them could get together, pay a teacher $100k and think how much better their kids' education would be.

[strawberryapple]

I suggested that also. I think anybody who is qualified to teach should be able to get paid to teach one or more students. I also believe that people who homeschool should be paid to teach their own kids. And based on your Chicago numbers, parents might come out of that making a profit. 😃

Red for me

[strawberryapple]

Your kids would miss out on the advanced pronoun in class!

[Pterodon]

Don’t care. I missed out on pronouns period. I failed English and barely went to school

[strateguy632]

That was the point of closing department of education. "effort to reduce the federal government’s role, in ensuring, people have equal access, to a quality (meaning gender swaying) education.”

News last week

[strawberryapple]

Dump the Department of Education.

No, blues don't want to manage their anger, and I don't know very many conservatives who want to learn Spanish, unless they want to work for ICE.
And computers and AI?

Those sound more like courses for MODERATE Conservatives. Hardline conservatives, don't give a shit about any of that, except Blue Collar Work. I'm surprised you didn't put Recreational Shooting for their PE course.
But the contrary, it would make more sense to put the blues in those courses. Those things you listed for blues, we don't want to instill it in them more, we want to get it out of their minds.

I think it would be better if they just passed a law that 50% of teachers must be Republicans

[strawberryapple]

Using a 50/ staff wouldn’t change the fact that there’s a department of education will have a mandatory curriculum.
I’m conservative and I took German in high school. That was a waste of time. I wish it would’ve been Spanish.
I’ve never dialed the number and had the machine ask me to press one for German.
I’m a conservative and I’m fascinated by computer and software technology. I seen many job descriptions where Spanish was mandatory to get the job.

I think my list for the curriculum the red schools was pretty darn close.
And the blue people could make up their own curriculum because I don’t care. I also know that liberals would hate my suggestion because they want everyone to be indoctrinated and their propaganda.

[KostasKouvalis]

I know you're conservative. German seems more fitting😂
I took Spanish, because that's all my HS offered. If they had French, I probably would've taken that.
Yeah, German is kind of useless unless you're moving to a German speaking country as pretty much all Germanic countries speak English. Even German bands sing in English

It happens. I've known a few. But I associate computers with Asians and Indians😂

Yeah

[Zack-Bann]

The blue parents would send their soy milk kids to red schools and say something like
“I would rather help reform these schools instead of going to the already perfect blue ones”

[strawberryapple]

You know it! Just like I think Trump got a lot of votes from Democrats, but they just don’t talk about it around their friends.

[Iron_Man]

I’m not sending my kid to a rainbow school because you know what that represents nowadays. I’m sending my kid to the school that they teach everything That’s importantand play sports and have PE

[strawberryapple]

Absolutely!

[Iron_Man]

Yes indeed

[Bricealan]

@strawberryapple hey, without a doubt, I would send my kid to the blue school! 😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😁

[lightbulb27]

You nailed it!:-)

[strawberryapple]

Thanks

[exitseven]

I pick the red one.

[strawberryapple]

Truth be told, I think the blue schools would be empty, and ANTIFA would be paid to riot.

[exitseven]

I bet the ones in Massachusetts would be full

[strawberryapple]

Child abuse

[Dargil]

Red looks about right.
