I couldn’t find where “right wingers” wants to force kids into private school unless you are talking about some rando somewhere no one has heard of.  
 

By defund do you actually mean allow the money to follow the kid?  Like going from a failing public school district to a good public school district so the kid can get a better education?  
 

it’s amazing that people on here are against kids attending a good school 

 

It's about siphoning money from public schools into private and charter schools. There's been enough of this going on for years to provide test cases, and it's generally an awful result-- poorly performing charter schools and decimated public schools. Defunding public schools is an unambiguous goal of the GOP.

Maybe add $500 per teaching room to each schools budget and mandate that it gets assigned to whatever teacher/‘s use that room and teachers can then purchase supplies and turn in an expense report for prompt repayment?  In addition, the IRS rule stays in effect too.  Maybe something like that would help. 

Or even better fund the schools so the schools can provide all classroom supplies directly.

 

On a side note, most of the schools our kids attended required the parents to provide a certain list of school supplies at the beginning of each year. It was way more stuff than any one, even two or three students would use. And they were not dedicated to your kid, they were distributed to whoever as needed. See, they know a large percentage of the families wouldn’t supply squat so they jacked up the quantities to cover for them. It always pissed us off just a little bit.

That’s pretty much what I said.  $500 per room for whatever teachers need that isn’t provided.  How much does it take to get a classroom ready?  And what’s it didn’t on?  I’m not a teacher so asking so I’m more informed.   
 

Just saying fund the schools doesn’t really do much.

The problem is most every teacher I’ve ever talked to or heard from seems to spend in excess of $500. What I’m saying is, classroom supplies shouldn’t be an issue. They should be provided by the school. That isn’t necessarily the same as just saying fund the schools although, in many cases, not enough school funding may be the problem. Most school districts I am aware of are wasting quite a few dollars on top heavy administration though so it may just be getting priorities adjusted.

I believe what you just said is fact.

6.6% shift in 3 months. Gee I wonder why?

 

It would be nice if it specified “what” they shifted from. It wouldn’t necessarily have to be all Rs to Ds although hopefully that is the case. I’m no Dem fan but currently they are way less dangerous.

So, not much of a cost savings, less innovation, and no reduction in inflation.   Unfortunately the Dems don’t quite understand this.  Or they actually do and just hoodwinked their own gullible base.

I'd like to know what the number of insane Trump lovin right wing crazy domestic terrorists are out there.  I'm far more worried about them than anyone trying to cross the border.

Wouldn’t the border be less secure if they weren’t catching them?  And, isn’t this number and indication that republicans are lying when they say Biden is for open borders?
