There are private/charter schools in all sorts of areas of the city and all sorts of buildings. You're telling me we can't get creative and put up some public schools in mild industrial commercial spaces? If we're lacking in space then think outside the box. Get some modular builders on this, retrofit some of these sprawling strip buldings in light industrial areas.
If parents had more public options for specialied education needs, I'm 100% sure they'd drive across the city to get their kid to that school.

Because they'd need to hire more teachers. By punting it to the private system, we still pay for those teachers(ya, ya, lower costs) but they are not part of a union, and you know, maybe the next time the public unions go on strike(if they ever have the right to) the govenrment points at the private schools still open and blames unions destroying education, and maybe we'd be better to do away with the public boards altogether, as is their end goal in everything.
