School Choice v. Local Control—Oil and Water!

August 22, 2015 By Nancy Bailey 9 Comments

Republican Presidential candidates claim to be for choice, including vouchers, charters and opportunity scholarships, and they also claim to be for local control of schools. But school choice and local control are like oil and water. You must choose one or the other. For example, Brandon Wright, in “Donald Trump Quotes about Education” from The […]

Cherry-picking data to undermine schools 90% of us send our kids to & privatize for profit. Way to further demoralize an already beaten-down workforce & push for EVEN MORE standardized testing & data collection. Nothing new & exciting. Sounds so very dreary/ punitive/out-of-touch https://twitter.com/roanoketimes/status/1527313907034910721

Interesting. Wonder how the USDOE Office of Edtech will incorporate FTC's new COPPA policy statement. "Students must be able to do their schoolwork without surveillance by companies"

@PennBat I worry that many students with disabilities will miss out on inclusion classes with their non-disabled peers with vouchers. The best they will find are segregated charters or private schools that only focus on the disability.

1. You lost
2. Where are the Special Ed students supposed to go when all the public schools are gone and voucher schools won't accept them?

"School Choice" isn't for ALL kids. Anyone who says it is, is full of 💩 https://twitter.com/DeAngelisCorey/status/1513571301155348481

@RepKrajewski the money doesn't belong to the government schools.

education funding is meant for educating children, not for protecting a particular institution.

we should fund students, not systems.
