My family experienced the lottery scenario 😔. My son is wait listed at the moment. Praying for an answer from God on what to try next. This video was 4 year ago and still relevant more than ever today.
They say the charter schools are lottery but most of them often are tied to performance of the students as well. They pick and choose among the best of those poor kids.

The rhetoric in favor of school choice and vouchers always implies that everyone gets a choice. That's not true. Many more students will be denied zoning exemptions, and there are only so many vouchers. Why not make the public schools better instead of leaving most of the students in bad schools while only some get out?
They are trying to improve public schools it's just hard to do lol. Frankly competition just helps. In Detroit we are known as one of the worst school systems, but for the first time in a long time there are options at every level elementary to high school that are good options. I don't feel my son is getting a low quality education. He currently is at a charter school in 5th grade which is the second best test result school in the city for his grade level. He transferred from the charter school with the best. He just left because his mother didn't like the school he was at for personal reasons. He tests high compared even to rich school districts around me. When he gets to high school he'll be attending a public school which is among the best schools in the area.
How do you suppose improving public schools. Increased funding? We are already spending more on education per student than almost all other developed countries. Like someone else said, competition is the key.
This presentation ignores the need to focus on improving what we have,the schools, teachers, unions, curriculum, and more, except to say it will happen with competition. Also ignored are the inroads being made to allow religious public schools under the guise of culturally-sensitive charter schools.
@@eviemaddox3038Apologies; I was being a bit facetious there since it seemed to fit the tone of the original comment. It seems absurd to me that there are counter-arguments against school choice arguing that the primary motivation is somehow corrupt when the very politicians making that argument send their kids to private schools. In my case, my parents were poor so I attended schools that resembled daycare centers and prisons more than centers of learning. We had to go through security checks each day and deal with police officers all the time searching our bookbags and bringing drug-detecting dogs into our classrooms. Meanwhile, my history teacher often dozed off in class with classmates passing Ziploc bags full of shrooms around the class while he slept. So school choice would have been a dream for me and I really don't understand why so many people are opposed to allowing people from a poor upbringing in cockroach-ridden apartments like me to have some choice in what schools we can attend using our parents' tax dollars. I'm also admittedly very much a dummy. I keep realizing there are basic things I don't know which probably everyone knows, like how modern irrigation systems work let alone the most primitive ones during the agricultural revolution. So I keep having to read and watch documentaries trying to educate myself on things I probably would have been taught if my teachers weren't spending most of their time concerned with drugs and delinquency or outright dozing off in class.
@@darkengine5931 Yes, it definitely sounds like you would have benefited from school choice! Those against it are certainly not looking out for our kids.
i just not, wy many people think that the only way to help others is thought government, i always think you can always help others in the volunteer way,
@@microesfera100 If we are collectively paying for schools to be funded, there is no need for outsourced funding, the "government" is US, it is funded with our money. We don't have to volunteer, they have to step up and listen to the people not just those that have the resources to already be better off.
@@GetAuraHere Most schools get additional finances past that of tax dollars allotted to them. They apply for grants or get endowments. Often that's what separates the better schools. The high school I want my son to go to is well financed for instance. About 30 million in additional finances per year.

And what is wrong with that?

@@farhan007 Reread the original comment, reread my comment, then read your response and tell me how it makes any ounce of sense
Why is "teacher performance" implied as so easy to measure?!
The rhetoric in favor of school choice and vouchers always implies that everyone gets a choice. That's not true. Many more students will be denied zoning exemptions, and there are only so many vouchers. Why not make the public schools better instead of leaving most of the students in bad schools while only some get out?
Could both of your points be done? Does education have to be so polarized? Better public schools and vouchers both can be a help top families.

Why can't EVERY ONE have a voucher?

FIRST COMMENT FOR REALZIES
This presentation ignores the need to focus on improving what we have,the schools, teachers, unions, curriculum, and more, except to say it will happen with competition. Also ignored are the inroads being made to allow religious public schools under the guise of culturally-sensitive charter schools.
How much did the koch and walton families pay this guy?
They're likely opposed to school choice, as it would deprive them of many future employees.
Government simp
@@darkengine5931 Koch is not opposed to school choice. I don't think you know what they do. They don't hire dummies.

No one is talking about the security of minority or low income students. I guess just screw them the wealth gap will widen.
