I listen to certain podcast uhumh people and they're falling over themselves for home schooling. And school vouchers.

And I'm over here pissed that the only way I can at least give my kid a chance at a decent school education is to go private. Our public schools have been systematically eroded to the point of barely being called daycare so the only way to give my kid a chance to actually learn is a private school that has the resources and small class sizes.

Imo, education should not be paywalled. Everyone should have equal access to quality education and not just "memorize these facts" and "be a good worker for the overlords" but actually be encouraged to think and understand the world as it is and how it can be

Education should be funded at least as well as our neverending war machine we call the armed forces. War against ignorance would make the world a much better place

Because they're achieving the privatization of the public education system and re-building segregation.

Don't listen. They consider a set of listening ears a win, and so do the ones advertising on that platform.
