Dubuque private school raises tuition by 58% after voucher expansion

LOL - It was never about the amount of money a school charges it was always about the quality of education. Iowa Public Schools suck, the environment sucks, the curriculum sucks, the administration sucks and the teachers suck.

Anymore questions?
Sounds like you’re probably a catholic school wannabe.

Hire a teacher for 1 student? No wonder public schools are such a money pit.
Why would they hire 1 teacher for just 1 special needs student? You know those come in all shapes and sizes right?
Does the public school system get funded increases yearly?

Asking for a friend.
Sometimes, sometimes not. In Iowa of late, it's rarely been enough recently to keep with the rising costs.

Check out some of the salary and benefit pacakages for past and current public school superintendents in Iowa. Some exceeding $300,000 annually and that doesn't include some really nice benefits.



Holy shit. Those guys are severely underpaid. Thank you for pointing that out.
 
Find one post where I said that.

Especially since I've said many times I myself attended private school.
You and Boji can cry all you want but vouchers are here to stay, the broken Iowa public school system needs to focus on education vs indoctrination. Get back to educating students not just pushing them out the door and saying good luck.

Again, it's not the vouchers themselves we object to.
 
Yes, I would definitely count on the religious institutions to avoid indoctrination. 😂

Boji when you mention school vouchers.

Some true Republican colors shining in this thread. Education is more than just words in a textbook. Maybe being around 'droolers' would help build some life experience and empathy.

Actually I have a couple of follow-up questions -

1. The thread is about vouchers. I asked if the vouchers were helping kids, making private school more affordable. Since private schools raised their tuition it doesn't seem like it's any more affordable.

2. You mentioned that private schools spend a nickel for every dollar spent by public schools. I asked for support for that assertion and wondered how they did that.

To those questions you responded with "Iowa public schools suck".

3. In this post you said, "It was never about the amount of money a school charges .....". What is "it"? The voucher program? The vouchers are only about money.

Let me guess - Iowa Public schools suck. :rolleyes:

4. How does taking money out of public schools help improve them? He’s mentioned how those schools have to get better…well, for each student that opts out they lose funding.
 
It's time for teachers to truly wake up and engage in healthy self reflection. The teachers have the ability to change the entire landscape. Figure out how to actually police your own on merit and develop the schools into what you want them to become. Parents are not the problem and in your heart you know that. You also know the administration of schools has grown to levels that are not healthy. Regulations but zero empowerment. Collective bargaining that negotiates for the least amongst you. Problem children that need actual help and guidance as well as discipline and no real ability to deliver. Teachers can take back their profession with vouchers or they can continue down the same pathway. Start a school and enroll 30 students. Take whichever students you want. Grow your business and educate. Seems like you could do quite well.

Or work to change to model in public education.

You whine about not getting respect as professionals. This is what life is like outside education. This is why the people whose kids you think you own have zero sympathy for your situation and why your arguments against vouchers are not working. You remember parents right? The ones actually responsible for their children. Not you and your snarky we know better because we teach. Parents are the ones teachers blame for their own mediocrity and inability to actually take charge of their profession.

This is a giant pile of crap that I feel sorry for you.

You really suggested starting your own schools? Unbelievable.

No it really isn't a pile of crap. It is reality. Alcoholics are really just incapable of taking responsibility for themselves. Keep going to meetings.
First, don’t be a dick. Second, my name is ironic, as I don’t drink. Third, reported for a personal attack.
Yes. Opportunity awaits. Guaranteed cash flow if you can attract customers. Are you not convinced teachers can make it in the marketplace? I mean dentists can do it....
Schools are not businesses.

For you libs it always comes down to $ doesn't it. Prior to those students "opting out" the public schools were failing so putting the same students back in the public school system is still a net zero as far as improving goes.
