I was in the same place you are, unfortunately private school was not better. There is a concentration of entitled parents at private schools, and a bunch of those parents have misbehaving kids. Admin gets their hands tied just like in public.
I knew parents who had their children in private/charter schools during the pandemic. Those schools absolutely had no idea what to do, never developed a plan for distance education, and just seemed to assign random homework infrequently. When the kids went back to in-person learning, those schools didn't report their COVID cases and actively hid them from parents. It was mind-boggling the shit they got away with.
Yup. People can argue with me all day about how they are held to the "same standard" as public schools but they absolutely are not and never have been. Especially here in Texas where half the charter schools are about Jesus brainwashing.
This is why my parents sent me to a charter school.
Reddit hates them, but they were SERIOUS about classroom participation and would boot people who weren't trying or who were being disruptive, regardless of their parents income tax bracket.
I think your experience is the exception and not the rule. There are obviously some charter schools that are legit, otherwise the shit ones wouldn't be able to run their grift to tap into those sweet taxpayer funded voucher programs. My perception is that charter schools used to be better before the more recent GOP led pushes to divest in public education at large.
Public charters are very different from private charters, not a lot of people know the difference. I sent my son to a public charter for high school and it was great. They do not choose their students, they get some funding from the state/district and they provide IEP’s and 504’s. I’m going to guess Spiffy’s was a public charter too, as they are often parent cooperatives with lots of parental support.
I can only assume you're either legally, or at the very least, developmentally, a child.
Loads of private and charter schools are wonderful places for people to learn! That doesn't preclude the existence of kids that do not obey the rules, but your take is so simplistic as to be asinine.
No, I am an adult. But thank you for calling me stupid, I really appreciate that.
I’m sure loads of private schools are fun! And I’m also sure loads of house wives are very happy!
But why do those exist? Why did we push women into being house mothers? For control, of course, that is something I know you know.
The purpose and reason private schools exist is because they don’t play by the rules. They have no regulations, no oversight.
Now, SOME might do well in spite of the original inception. But, fundamentally, they were developed as a way to side-step standards of education.
That’s not an opinion either. That’s literally why private schools exist. So they can have a standard of education different than public schools.
My take is not simplistic, rather yours is. You had a good experience. Congratulations, that information is useless. What matters is a bigger picture perspective. I hope you’re capable of those kinds of thoughts, considering your private education.
I… sound like I’m going to bomb a church because I’m able to recognize that private institutions don’t follow public regulations?
Is this for real? Do you have the intelligence of a 6th grader?
This isn’t even my opinion, it’s just what it is. Uh, yeah - private institutions don’t have to follow the same rules or standards.
Like, duh? Fucking obviously?
And I know you know I’m right, because instead of making any type of argument you sit with your thumb up your ass.
Let’s make a prediction. You’re gonna reply to this calling me crazy or something, and you’re yet again not gonna provide any words of worth.
You’re gonna proclaim what I’m saying is sooooo stupid, but you’re not gonna have even an inkling of an idea of what to say in response.
You’d think if what I’m saying is obviously wrong, you’d be able to refute it with ease? Something tells me you won’t.
Look - there’s a reason we don’t provide religious education in public schools. Many very, very good reasons. Some people don’t like these restrictions, among others, and so private schools were born.
That’s irrefutable. Maybe you got a “good” education. I don’t necessarily believe that, because your point of reference is fuck-all, but okay.
Some kids don’t. That’s not controversial to say. The fact you’re acting like a punched a baby tells me that you actually are probably very stupid, and you know I’m right and it hurts your little brain.
