Is finding a school that is safe, and focused on the goals of education and not politics a challenge?

Question

I pose this question to address both public and private schools. If people are struggling against bankruptcy why are they having to look at private schools? Why has our Local, State and Federal Governements left it up to private schools to fill the demand for elementary, middle and high school education? Why is the help in the form of (difficult to aquire) "school vouchers" that pay for , at most 1/2 of a child's private school education? Furthermore, if any American population is so reliant on private schools how can "no child left behind" be a truth? Private schools do not help gifted or special educational needs children. If Catholic schools want to be the answer, are they able to serve the special educational needs of 10 +% of children? Does privatization of everything mean we still have to pay taxes? Where are we going New Orleans? Where are we going America?

Answer 1

Yep, a very big challenge.

Answer 2

Depends on where you live. I'm in Idaho and that's really all our education system is: the teachers try to focus on the students and helping them learn. Unfortunately, Idaho has a bad reputation because we are near the bottom in education spending in the nation (including Puerto Rico) and have a really low graduation rate. That all seems to stem from greedy politicians (poly- many, tics- blood sucking parasites) diverting education budget money to improve highways and such. So I would have to say yes, it would be a challenge to find such a school that encompasses all of those characteristics. You could look into private/catholic school; even if you're not religious, it's a very good education if you can afford the tuition. Best of luck!
