It’s a tragedy when the value of public education is seen as entertaining adults over educating children.
Another reason I’m against vouchers. Friday night lights and athletics would be the first thing cut if vouchers passed.

That’s $94,000,000,000. It’s time for innovation in education. Texas families are ready for school choice.
Texas will spend $94 BILLION on public education in the 24/25 school year. $17,000 per student.

This is a very political post for someone paid with taxpayer funds. FOR ANYONE to stand in the way of parents accessing alternatives for their children with these outcomes is morally wrong.
