Are private schools in your district capable of availing themselves of public funds btw? Do they (if they are, of course)?
Anyone who thinks there is just oodles of wasted dollars in education and so a profit to be made by the private sector isn't living in the real world.
Republicans have such a huge sense of entitlement while not wanting to pay for anything. Education should be cheap and therefore there should be qualified teachers who will work for chump change. Any teachers must just be un-American if they won't tighten their belt even more to support the fantasy that everything needed should be available without taxing the citizenry.
Which republican was it that came up with the great idea of using the children of the poor to replace janitors who refuse to work cheap enough? Too bad republicans don't support cloning. Otherwise perhaps they could raise up an army of clones to work for nothing and to fight in our military adventures.
