I’m in a fortunate position to be able to send my kid to private montessori school in Texas. The public schools here are totally fucked. The state has been cranking down funding for years, and the tax recapture system the state set up takes funding from urban districts and sends it to rural districts. Then, when the urban districts languish with significant underfunding, if even one school in a district receives a failing grade on standardized assessments 3 years in a row, the state can come in and take over the school district. They’ve already done it to Houston ISD, and they’re about to do it to Austin ISD. Education in Texas is absolutely fucked
(Copied this from my comment on another thread about this)
most of the red states likely having diverted funding to “charter school vouchers” which are actually just scams that redirects the funding back to the gop campaigns. its by designed to create more incels/ bumpkins that keep voting republicans. they need to source the future generation of GOP voters/politicians. it a double edge sword, because if they make them too DUMB , they cant even be used as cannon fodder for the military.
