The public school fanatics keep pushing this narrative, and it's a great example of why we now have this new law.
Public schools want to reduce education expectations for ALL students, in order to accommodate the special needs students, and the troubled students. Well, some families want more than that. And, now they are able to select higher performing schools where available.
Again: WHY ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF DEFUNDING PUBLIC SCHOOLS?
Private schools, being exempt from taking in more costly special needs kids, get MORE money per student than they should be.
The money goes with the student so the school wouldn't be getting money for the student because they aren't going to the public school. The public school also gets funds from the state for the special needs kid or didn't you know that?
This is another of your same talking points. Don't you have any new material? Edit: Regina my ass.
You do realize the special needs kid is only in school because mom and dad need a break from caring for them, they are not in school to further their education. It would be an absolute waste of time and money to put a special needs kid in a class with the high performing kids whose parents send to private schools.
It's not about accepting them it's more about they have zero business being there.
IT IS FACTUAL.
Special needs children can cost 3x-4x more, per student, than "regular" kids.
Start w/ 100 kids.
$7000 each
$700k
But 5 of them are special needs/autistic/etc. They actually cost $25k each.
But the budget is fixed at $700k. So you lose 5x$25k off your top tier budget, and have $575k for the 95 "regular" kids.
$6052 each NOT $7000 each for those regular students.
Now, you have 30 of them take the "vouchers" to private schools. 30x7000=$210k
But the private schools refuse ANY of the expensive, special needs kids.
Now you have a pool of 65 public school students, with only $365k left.
Public school now pays $25k each for 5 specials needs kids. Has ONLY $5615 for each "regular" student.
Private schools walk away w/ the full $7k
This has been explained to you again, and again. You refuse to acknowledge it.
When they pro-rate what they "voucher" for private schools, to penalize any of them who refuse to take special needs kids, I'm fine w/ it.
Let them refund 20% of their "voucher intake" for refusing any special needs kids.
Wealthy people have access to public education. Poor people do not have access to private education. Disabled children do not have access to private education. You continue to be out of your depth on this topic.
It's not about accepting them it's more about they have zero business being there.

If it cost 7k to educate a child, but 25k to educate a special needs child...well then maybe you are beginning to understand why things are different now.
My family is from and I was born in Mt. Pleasant. Pretty sure it’s fully in Henry.
Translation = TP is just an overpaid playground supervisor who begrudges people who want a better education for their kids.

Can you enroll your kid at Dowling right now?
Don't the IC public schools have higher academic ratings than any of the private schools?
Maybe you are beginning to understand why public schools are getting screwed and defunded over the "voucher system"...
They just ignore facts like every other aspect of the country.
But not black or children in poverty. It’s impossible to have a conversation with you on this if you can’t even admit this benefits families that can already afford private school and those who ALREADY ATTEND private schools over all the other kids. You’re being disingenuous if you can’t own this. We told you what it would look like ahead of time. It looks like what we said. Just admit we’ve been right from the start.
I'm saying you claim not to be a racist which you obviously are. So, don't come into a constructive conversation hiding behind a white hood and preempt your position with "I am not a racist".
And my opinion the most serious problem our society has had to deal with over the decades is people with your attitude.
The right is absolutely infected with this attitude. The idea that, I have mine. Screw everyone else. I’m going to step on you with my boots if you get in the way. It doesn’t matter if you’re suffering. I have mine.
Are they? Are you saying that an average student who is not an athlete will be able to enroll in the private school of their choice with this voucher?
You won't respond to this because you're a caoward and a gullible rube.
Do they? Are you saying that a poor family who wants their child to attend a private school will be accepted at that school no matter what?
You're a rube.
As long as the "right" people get the $200 million, Kim Jong Reynolds is good with it.
I don't think he really understood what he typed, because if he did, he wouldn't have hit "post reply".
He actually contradicted himself in that single post!
Unless ....he's a master troll?
Beginning to get the idea you have multiple personalities on here.
Maybe we should go back to a time when the state really saved money on the special needs kids and locked them in homes versus giving them the opportunity to interact with other kids and receive the best education possible? You seem to be suggesting that state money on these kids is wasted.
