Scholarships for students to attend private school doesn't affect public school funding. In fact, it likely helps the matter by relieving pressure on the public school system.

Not exactly. Public funding is based on headcount, so those schools are going to get crippled, likely facing closures, consolidations, and then any student left will face an even poorer standard of education as the budget tightens further.

Private schools are the wrong answer, he should have been working with the city to make a structured grant to improve the existing public schools.

I dunno about Philly, but in NC, there's virtually no oversight over what qualifies as a private school. Someone investigated and found a number of schools that received more vouchers than they had students. The journalist who covered it couldn't even find the location of one of those schools, just a number of addresses that led nowhere.

And - again in NC - they just took the vouchers from the educational budget. So if they devote X amount to this, that's X amount taken from public schools.

And more generally, any plans proposed and supported by the Republican party is sure to be a scam in some way.

Do you just intentionally miss the point or what? The only part of this you care about is clearly the part that was just supposed to be humorous/tongue in cheek.

Anyone find it pretty fucking embarrassing that Jay Z found out who Basquiat was late in life and has been LARPing as him ever since?
Thanks for reading!

this is the same scheme greg abbott is doing school vouchers which is just a way to take money from public schools and give it to rich folks the vouchers arent enough to cover private school tuition
He's just funding to increase his clientele. Private schools were always the hotbeds for drug use, not the public schools.
Blah, blah, blah, and blah.

All you do is go into threads and A) miss the point in an extremely embarrassing way B) Give some shitty political take that shows how privileged and detached you are from society and those who will directly suffer from your apathy/ignorance or C) Talk about how you don't understand how others can care about something because you don't care about it

All you do is go into threads and shit post. There, there's your enlightenment.

This thread is clearly about what he's doing/funding and all you care about is some snarky comment in the title about how he's a former drug dealer and how he shouldn't be held in contempt for it. Which while that may be true, is obviously not what the fucking thread is about.

You are insufferable in your obtuseness at best, intentional shitposting at worse.
