Say (D) after (D) who choose a school for their children that isn’t the public school assigned by their zip code.
School choice for me, not for thee. Keep doing the lord’s work keeping those poors and minorities trapped in ****ty schools.

American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten issued a statement that said remote learning was to blame for the drop in the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) math evaluation after scores were released Tuesday.
“Worldwide, the extraordinary drop in math and reading scores shows how detrimental the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath was to student learning and highlights just how important it is that we prepare now, so we’re not caught off guard during another public health crisis,” Weingarten said.
“In-person learning is where kids do best, which is why educators and their unions worked so hard to reopen US schools for safe in-person learning beginning back in April 2020, and why we’ve spent the last several years following the pandemic prioritizing public schooling and investing in real solutions that help kids recover and thrive,” she added.
Weingarten, 65, had fought the Trump administration’s push to reopen schools nationwide in July 2020, reportedly calling the decision “reckless” and “cruel” as millions of Americans were sickened with and dying of COVID-19.
“It’s as if [then-President Donald] Trump and [then-Education Secretary Betsy] DeVos want to create chaos and want to jeopardize reopening,” Weingarten told the Guardian about DeVos’ plan to fully open schools in the fall of 2020.
“There’s no other reason why they would be this reckless, this callous, this cruel.”
She then successfully lobbied the Biden administration to put the brakes on a full reopening and allow some teachers to work remotely in the winter of 2021, The Post exclusively revealed.
Earlier this year, Weingarten was accused of “misrepresenting her prior positions” when she claimed she fought to reopen schools beginning in May 2020.
US 15-year-olds saw their test scores on the PISA assessment drop by 13 points from pre-pandemic levels as part of a worldwide trend.

Given reading comprehension scores at K-12 public schools, it’s no surprise anti-choicers struggle with the definition of that word.

I fondly recall our academic expert lecturing us that the unintended consequences of keeping children out of school were non existent because he was so scared of the scary virus

Well it was scary to fat people but he wouldn’t admit that either
Except that isn't true. And we've already see that it isn't true in states that currently have school choice.
Not sure if it's posted or not, but TN is expected to expand it's school choice in 2025 to 20k families with basically no restrictions on income. That is music to my ears as my daughter starts Kindergarten in 2024 and we've been mildly stressing about putting her into public schools in the current environment, and we can't really afford private institutions.

Ignoring your complete ignorance of how public school is funded...
Do you support student loan forgiveness?

Do your homework school choice boy.
The people pushing School " Choice" don't do **** unless there is something in it for them
It's a scam but you don't mind playing the mark when they are selling white privilege
