Should education be funded by taxes, or privately? |
Should parentspay for their children's education, and be able to choose schools? More like a business model? Perhaps if money was on the line, parents would be more involved in their children's education, and teachers would be competing for jobs, instead of being tenured? Also, it would release a tax burden on those who don't have children. What do you think? Yes. They're already paying. I pay ungodly school tax and then I have to pay for everything in the class and everything my son does at the school. I think the entire school system should be privatized. The bureaucracy is wasting the money anyway. Then we're left with teachers "teaching for the test". I just had a meeting with my son's teacher and she said she had to use the "PLORE method" to learn to read, because studies show it makes them score better on the state test. It also teaches them to hate reading, but who cares? It's a mess. I could pay for private with our school tax money. It's enough. Did I mention I also have to sell unwanted junk to my friends for their fundraiser? I might of forgot that. Do I seem upset? LOL Great question. Tenure has protected lousy teachers and has made it nearly impossible to fire them. Teacher unions have damaged the quality of education severely. The only problem is a lot of poor or crappy parents can't or won't pay for their kids to learn. And later when those kids can't work because they are illiterate and uneducated -we will end up paying for them as well in jails and food lines. And it will compound to the point where we have this huge uneducated underclass of tax-drainers. I don't like public education but it seems like the lesser of two evils. Education benefits all of society, so all of society should support it. If it were the fiunancial responsibility of the parents, then poor people would opt out of education and perpetuate a permanent underclass. and what happens with the poor, who cant afford it? they just get left behind, living their lives out stupid and uneducated All parents should not be made to pay. Not everyone can afford an education for their children. In fact, they encourage their children to do good in grade school so that they can get scholarships to pay for the increasingly expensive costs of college. It is a good idea to have teachers compete, but not to have parents compete (financially) just to get their child a basic education. Well as far as I know, The Tax payer funds ALL of higher and lower education. We pay taxes each and every year to build or repair schools. In addition we have to also pay to send our children to the higher levels of education. Do not be fooled by so called grants and scholarships. |
