As I have opined many times on this blog, government run schools have devolved into pension, healthcare and union lifestyle management entities that teach on the side, badly, and at a financial loss to the taxpayer. Nationally, the cost of K-12 ed vs student test scores:
“If you stand up for kids, you have to oppose this [collective bargaining] Schools get organized by the adults on the basis of interests and concerns that have nothing to do with kids. So, why would you expect that system to work?”
Q.E.D. Ironically, Obama crushed the hopes of DC public school students that were given vouchers to escape the failing system. Thus the question I have asked many times in this blog: why keep this corrupt, deficit-ridden, no value added system running at all? Just dismantle it with a stroke of the pen and give the kids a voucher to let them go to whatever school they want. Nope. Have to keep kids shackled to failed public schools to keep the victim class alive. Vouchers were a proven success in DC. Obama and his education secretary Arne Duncan were the architects that betrayed the children in Washington DC that was running a successful voucher program that proved to be both effective and cost only a quarter of what the public schools were taking in. Duncan and Obama had the data showing the success of the program before they decided to kill it off at the behest of the teacher unions. I have posted on that shameful act several times in this blog, such as these:
- It's official: Democrats kill successful DC voucher program, resegregate DC Public Schools
- After hiding the data and dumping the successful DC voucher program, the only thing Obama should tell students today is "I'm sorry"
- Freep: Public Schools Are Crap - Let's Remold It!
