I did a good thing today, bros. My county is having a special

the schools are already underfunded, and you want to take away more money? children are the fucking future, education isn't something you can skimp on

Why do you want to defund the schools? Enlighten me.

I don't trust the government to do anything, least of all raise children.

>>35366313
and you think shittier schools will solve this?

>>35366350
More money does not equal better schools.

Defund them all, I say. Private school or home school is the way to go.

parents don't have time to homeschool their kids when they have to work

and private schools are for profit and notoriously shit among most teachers. They are staffed by shitty teachers that couldn't make it in public education.

>parents don't have time to homeschool their kids when they have to work
That's another problem, both parents working, but that's another story.

>notoriously shit among most teachers
I think public school teachers are scared of private schools.

>name one civilized nation without a public school system
Well, America didn't always have the federal government involved. Local governments set up schools. I might be more supportive if that were still the case.

In a lot of places, private schools are not legally required to hire certified teachers. They don't have many requirements in general. They also operate under a thin budget while still charging their students tuition.

I agree with that, but I still think that education provided by some form of higher government to children is necessary for a civilized country.

I guess I'm just soured on public schools. I see them spend money on stuff I don't think they need, and the public school teachers I know, I don't like. I know a choir guy who is a really pretentious asshole. His choir sucks too.

Oh well. I might just be paying more taxes.
