"Why do virtual reading programs, charter schools, and private schools get a free pass when it comes to being evaluated for how they address reading, especially in the data they accrue about children?" @NancyEBailey1 https://bit.ly/3kK1D86

“Fund the student, not the system.” is code for “we don’t give two shits about disabled or rural kids.”

Typically no, #schoolvouchers don’t cover full tuition. And the few schools that aren’t sub-prime providers and do offer a good #education will often deduct the voucher from student financial aid packages. https://twitter.com/amkrspz/status/1618945335220662273
