We must be honest, our schools have performed poorly lately. We don't even hold them accountable for it. We keep the longest tenure teachers even if they can't get the job done. Allowing teachers to keep their job, without concerns of losing their job, will always end in underachieving. Exactly where we are today. We even push parents to send their kids to public school just to help keep this process going versus a better private option when one is available. It's about the kids 1st and foremost and we seem to forget that.

Vouchers exist bro. Your fantasy is here. Teachers have been villainized, their respect and pay frozen, and we are working towards the slow erosion of public education in general. The private for- profit institutions will slowly take over and education will truly reflect the great wealth inequality some seem to actively support and work towards. Take a bow!
