Should My Wordless Kid Go to School with Your Normal Child?
Like almost all the other problems of our schools, this problem could be easily solved if parents like Rob were the ones who directly controlled the public money spent on their kids.
Parents should be able to designate which schools receive the public funds used for their kids.
The local school board should in many cases not actually operate schools at all, it should merely determine the appropriate funding level for each kid based on an individual assessment, then assist the parents in its district to find a suitable school for their kids and audit the funds.
If a local government wants to run schools then that’s fine, but the government schools should compete equally with private schools.
The parents need to be CUSTOMERS, not supplicants.
If we ran grocery stores like we do schools in the US we’d all be starving.
