That money should go to the public school system and that's it. While we're at it catholic schools should also go away. Make them all public schools, fund them properly, set good curriculum. Stop slicing and dicing where the money goes.
I also don't like the idea that privately operated institutions are getting public money and more autonomy from the public school system and what they can teach. Yes they have to follow the curriculum but they can also add additional programs and philosophies.
This is a joke.

Do you hold this view for all publicly funded services?
Like the programs for children with speech delays is funded by the government and delivered by non-profit private companies.
Family medicine is delivered primarily through publicly funded for profit clinics.
What is it about “normal” public education that makes you hold this position.
In my opinion a limited charter schools is likely a benefit where they offer a different service to what the standard public school offers. I don’t think it would beneficial to have them in direct competition though.
