Should pull their kids out and keep them out. IMO. And demand states return the taxes (I think our failed schools account for something like 50% of a state's budget).
Homeschooled kids do better and learn faster. They get better jobs and make more money.
I was home schooled growing up and I'd rather have my daughter-law home schooled, but her mom and I both need to have jobs because of the overpriced demotaxes
An issue that our country will have to come to terms with one way or another.
Instead of giving your locally assigned no-choice government school $15k per kid, attach that money to the child to be used however. Hell, cut it by 2/3 and give the kid/parent $5k. Solutions will present themselves naturally when the money is on the table for the taking. Someone in your neighborhood will "babysit" for half that $5k per kid.
Detroit is now 50% illiterate. That would change practically over night, and the "schools" would become ghost towns if every kid had a $5k voucher available and all you have to do for it is pass some basic standardized testing.
And you know what? If a few of those kids fail to learn, then those who are actually motivated will do better in life. It might return us to something closer to a real meritocracy.
For about thirty bucks/month even idiots can homeschool their kids. The lessons are already planned out and printed.
Some of the dumbest people I knew growing up were my high school teachers.
work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

I don't even have kids and I still have to pay property taxes, so I don't think that'll be happening anytime ever, lol.

A lot of parents are really, really, fucking stupid. There's no way they could effectively homeschool their children- even with tutors.
And our schools are really really bad and really really over-priced.
Kids can teach themselves with a curriculum and an internet connection and basic standardized testing.
And you know what? If a few of those kids fail to learn, then those who are actually motivated will do better in life. It might return us to something closer to a real meritocracy.
Yeah, it's a bogus argument regardless because those idiot parents are a product of the failed schools that should be replaced.

I think you underestimate just how fucking stupid the general populace is- especially certain minority groups
