Parents can just... move.

Thats not the question you asked, this is a dishonest response to an answer regarding your question about where "school choice" is a thing.

People move to good schools all the time, thats why there are rankings.

But as I enumerate in #38, you need school choice in Public schools that are poor because the students are so poorly behaved.
If you want better chances for poorer kids, given the rules Democrats and Unions have created, you need to have "school choice"
There are of course better ways to handle this, but you probably voted against it.

It's not difficult to see how conservative "values" and Republican destruction of public schools are making America weaker.

idk Clownshack seems like public schools are doing that to themselves. Not sure how spending $33K per pupil is a destruction.

Perhaps you could actually enumerate how the schools have been "destructed".

Is this another thread dominated by morons who have neither been a teacher nor a parent, but seem to be experts in education?

Yeah but we got AI! Just dealing with schools is a hassle.

Why are so many administrators needed, you might ask as a parent myself let me tell you ....

Students are behaving poorly. When there is a poorly, I mean antisocial shoot the teacher type poorly it triggers all sorts of administrators.

Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA): An evaluation requested by parents or school staff to determine the root cause of the behavior.
Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP): A customized plan built from an FBA that outlines specific strategies, replacement behaviors, and adult responses.
504 Plans or IEPs (Individualized Education Programs): If the behavior is tied to a disability (such as ADHD or emotional disturbance), the student may qualify for specialized accommodations, counseling, or a formal team review under federal guidelines.
Parent Consensus: When a child's behavior repeatedly disrupts others, the school's typical progression moves rapidly from parent-teacher conferences to counselor involvement and formal administrative intervention.

EIPs are a teacher and administrator time sink and gravy train for specialists .... the whole thing spirals into a disaster for all the other students. 14% of students in Fresno unified have to have IEP plans.

Each IEP student requires ....
School Psychologists: Conduct cognitive and behavioral evaluations to form the foundation of the plan.
Speech-Language Pathologists & Occupational Therapists: Write specialized goals and service trackers.
Special Education Case Managers: Synthesize all data, type out the final multi-page plan, and coordinate compliance tracking.

This all degrades the education a child in a poor neighborhood receives, it also takes money away from poorer districts.

American Kids are temper tantrum tornadoes.

Show me with real examples from where "school choice" is a thing.

Cupertino.

Seriously, your opinion of my posts counts for zilch.
Your posts, however, are exemplary howls of MAGAt insecurities.

Seems like the bellringer hit a little too close to the fairy bell.

Republicans' inability to progress beyond basic victimhood seems reflective of their stunted emotional maturity, a notable characteristic of the MAGA cult.

This true of Democrats as well.

This isn't the retort you think it is.

Tell us about the parents who publicly threatened murder.

Pretty common actually for school board meetings. Usually handled at the local level.

Do your research.

Here is the response from my prompt "How much money did the NEA spend to get rid of the SAT"

The NEA is a massive organization with a budget of roughly $450 million, dedicating over $50 million annually directly to political activities and lobbying. Instead of writing checks to universities (which are independent entities and cannot be directly lobbied like politicians), the NEA influences college policies indirectly through:

The "Demand Colleges Drop Testing Requirements" Campaign: The NEA uses its core operational and digital media funds to run grassroots advocacy initiatives. They provide tools for their three million members to flood university admissions boards with letters and petitions.

State-Level Pressure: The NEA's most significant wins against the SAT happen via state affiliates that lobby state governments. For example, local teacher unions heavily backed the legislative and legal pressure in California that ultimately pushed the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) systems to go completely test-blind.

Its fascinating to me how people can't see the trend that started in K-12 to end standardized testing and that would eventually end in wanting to get rid of the SAT.

For a more "holistic" admissions process.

I posted the same question to AI about the period between 1980 and 2020. Just not seeing a lot about the power of teachers' unions yet.

You need to use your head. Sometimes people need to realize the propaganda that their AI requests generate.

The National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have long opposed standardized testing in K-12 education, and they extended this position to college admissions.
