Why is school choice not a Democratic issue?

40. it's completely privately funded. There are kids there on scholarship, but those

Are also private funds. The school also does auctions, carnivals and many fundraising drives to help out, but we do end up paying about 75% out of pocket.

All said and done, it probably costs about 20k per student. That's why I hate when cities and school district residents complain, or boast, about how much it costs per student. Public schools are drastically under funded, so when a resident complains that it costs 12k per student, I tell them how much I spend and what I get for my investment. My children have never failed a subject, and continually score high on standardized tests. They also get the help they need on subjects they struggle with.

The real benefit to smaller class sizes is access to the teachers.No teacher can be expected to keep 30 parents continually updated on their child's day to day struggles and process. The teachers at this school contact us via email at least twice a week, sometimes more if there are issues, and I have easy access to them when I need it.

I want every kid and parent to have the same resources we enjoy. It really does show in their life and quality of work.
