CHARLIE BROWN’S TEACHER, EDUCRAT
Students who have opted to homeschool or attend private schools have had a negative impact on the district’s finances.
Blah, blah, blah blah, blah.
Yeah, we’ve heard this one once or twice.

I hear this whine all the time. The thing is this: perhaps they should treat running a school like running a business. When a business has trouble attracting customers it asks, “What is the competition offering that we’re not?” and “What can we do to get those customers over here?” They don’t sit on their butts whining and blaming everything around them. (Well, at least the good ones don’t.) Maybe private schools and homeschooling wouldn’t be such an attractive option (for some, at least) if the public schools were so down-right incompetent. Oh, and about those budget short-falls… the fact that you don’t know how to make a budget that BALANCES belies that your budget committee got their skills from a public school education. Maybe they should hire an HEK to take a look at that budget for them. 😉 |

Correction: Maybe private schools and homeschooling wouldn’t be such an attractive option (for some, at least) if the public schools were so down-right incompetent. That should be “if the public schools were NOT so down-right incompetent.” |
