Education / Teaching thread

I don’t see it as a message for defunding public schools. Quite the opposite. We need more money going towards education not less.
It's part of the cooked-up narrative of the "failing" public schools that has been used to open up public monies to private entrepreneurs. (big business, charter chains, etc.) And "more money" could be going right into a CEO's pocketbook, not necessarily into anything that actually benefits classroom instruction. Way too many scams going on, and not enough checks and balances.
