Why is school choice not a Democratic issue?

102. You may need that suit!

The reason charter schools show such amazing results is they only accept the top students. Teaching begins with the c/d student. It is easy to teach the student who has strong family support, is motivated and consistently performs. Teaching is reaching the kids who do not fall into those categories.

The people who love these schools have used performance as a reason to expand them. This is a full frontal attack on public education, calling it anything less is just wrong!

Do you really want leaders in politics and business who have NO idea what public education is? That is where we are headed, most business leaders already fall into that category, hence the attack on public education.

If you want better schools, help get them the funding needed to make them better. Volunteer your time to tutor or mentor kids who struggle in your schools. Encourage and uplift the teachers who barely make a living wage and spend most of their waking hours, teaching, preparing or worrying about their "kids". Help teach parenting classes that show parents how to produce students who are prepared for school, both intellectually and from a disciplinary aspect.

The schools are just a mirror of what is wrong with our country right now, running to hide in a private safe room is not making it any better.
