Iowa school voucher scam update: Private schools raising tuition up to 40%. Special ed services to public schools will have a 30 million dollar cut

Not sure what I think of this part. It reads like these aren't important. We have curriculum to teach, and in my job, safety is the number one priority for me. Also, like any class, some kids can handle these and others cannot. Depends on the disability and its severity.
Also, I agree with your first part, HOWEVER, again, we have parents pushing for their kids to be in Gifted programs but they are delusional. It drives me nuts when I see kids in that room, but they don't turn in their work in their regular classes.
Pine laughed...which means he still hasn't realized he's wrong in his beliefs.
Evidence suggests voucher schools push out struggling students
Do private schools push out students who receive state-funded tuition vouchers when they struggle academically? A newly published research study provides evidence that they do. On the other hand, t…inschoolmatters.wordpress.com
My favorite line: Pushout can also be costly to students and their families. State voucher funding stops when the student leaves, but the schools may bill families for tuition for the month or even the entire semester
So it IS about the money and not the education...
Each child is different. Some can handle some classes and can't handle others, for a variety of reasons and disabilities. With Behavior Disorders, it's a crapshoot almost every single day.
Small towns won't see much change as they won't have many school alternatives ever. There are about 5 rural charter schools in Indiana and almost zero new private schools in Indiana outside the urban/suburban areas. The vast majority of new private schools in suburban areas have been quasi-homeschool religious collectives that wanted voucher dollars.
Taking one for “the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost” ain’t all its cracked up to be!
That's not what I mean at all, in fact my life has probably been influenced by these classes more than most. I brought those departments up because, in my experience they were more conducive to offer meaningful work and opportunity to learn across a wider spectrum of achievement. Nothing I wrote should be misconstrued to mean all the time or even always together. I just imagined some programing that can involve higher needs students with the general student body, or better yet the highest achievers, to everyone's benefit.
Sending your kid to a Catholic school is like pimping them out to clergy
So are they prepping alter boys again then? That's been a good steady source of fresh meat before for them.
I know that. I just take every opportunity to go after the Catholic Church. Its deserved. They earned it with over 2000 years of nonsense.
Pope Frank is better than the others, but in the end it can't be redeemed.
Plus, God is beyond human understanding, not Zeus by himself, which is basically the biblical God. It's absurd and it took me years to get away from my upbringing
I loved the maps put out yesterday showing where the voucher dollars are going. Not to rural Iowans. They are getting f***** in this deal.
THANKS KIMMIE!!!
THANKS KIMMIE!!!
Nothing is changing for rural Iowans. They won't notice one thing different. Which is just the way they want it.
I am going to be honest here; "What else are these guys going to do to make that sort of money in the private sector?".
The truth is most of these guys are middle managers in the real world who likely top out in the low $100k range. We could pay the large school supers far less and there would still be plenty of candidates bc they have no where else to go and THEY KNOW IT. Good luck to these guys trying to compete with the likes of me in the private sector, they wouldn't know how to keep up...most in non-military govt would.
It will lead to quicker school consolidation in rural areas. Higher funding will flow towards larger schools on a per student basis once democrats take control and that will come via zero or near zero dollar increases for rural community schools. Why, because our system of govt have become more and more political top to bottom. Blue leaders will cater to their urban voters while republicans cater to their large dollar voters who are more conservative in nature. The rurals will of course vote their values and go conservative even though it will hurt them equally if not more so than their blue politicians. The blues will ignore them bc they don't vote for them and the reds will ignore them bc they just give up their vote to them regardless of what they do.
More school consolidation happens. That means those communities that lose the school in their town will experience further rot, more flight, lower property values. This private voucher deal just speeds rural community death in Iowa as not it will come from both sides.
Instead of consolidating schools these types of communities should be looking first to shared resources of overhead and administrative staffing individuals.
I didn't watch but is it via raping kids? I only ask bc they certain seem to do a lot of raping kids.
Except their tax dollars are being pilfered to give to well to do families to attend private schools.
“You’re lucky you got 2%!” - Kim Reynolds to a small school superintendent.
At that level he/she are dealing with wackadoo parents. I’m at a good, high scoring school and I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve heard about parents calling “downtown” because they don’t like a building decision.
I doubt people realize what the job of DM supt. encompasses.
I hope the new guy is up to the challenge. It's a huge step up from his previous job.
Lots of politics involved as well. I doubt he realizes how "anti public school" Terrace Hill is.
99% of what he posts on education is bullshit. He’s been gaslighting this entire thread. The educators have been spot on from the beginning. Kim can’t fool us.
Most don't.
Principals are usually the ones that dole out any punishments/suspensions.
A Supt is basically the CEO of a school district.
Pine laughs so we know this is fact.
Private schools aren't set up to accommodate IEP's because they haven't been funded fairly for decades.
Maybe with the new law that can change.
