Daily Poll 168: What’s the best education option?
I went to a pretty bog standard public school system and I hated it like the rest the of you. I don’t see myself ever having kids but if I did I’d make damn sure to find some other way to educate them rather than putting them in Kiddie prisons for 6 to 8 hours a day. I know Rippa has come out a lot against the public school system and rightfully so in my opinion. I’m curious where all of you stand on the subject of education. Don’t forget to vote on the poll and to comment below!

As a public school teacher, the kiddie prison analogy is accurate. So many parents treat the school like a daycare and only certain kinds of students are really able to thrive in the environment. So many students I teach need one on one instruction; they get too distracted by having other kids in the classroom or get overwhelmed by too much social interaction. Plus too many schools’ administrations are more interested in the “passing” rates rather than actual education that occurs in the classroom.

I agree Duke, I worked with schools for 7 years as the football coach. So many parents, and grandparents because the parents are divorced, just drop the kids off like a daycare. Too much is focused on standardized tests and attendance because that’s how they get paid. I believe it was $40 per student per day, I’m sure it’s gone up. I will be homeschooling, but I know that’s not viable for some familes. The most realistic option is school choice, and shitty schools won’t get funded because families won’t choose them.

I still can’t believe school choice isn’t a thing for general education students. What’s even more unbelievable is that it’s teachers unions that stop school choice from being a reality. I have a hard time believing a teacher that is against school choice is actually a good teacher.

Homeschooling is by far the best. And in my case, if Jesus gives me wife and kids, well I might need to move to Oklahoma because it’s Constitution protects Homeschooling and I don’t have to tell the state whether or not my kids are Homeschooling or not.
That is if Jesus wants me to have wife and kids.
