In New Hampshire a new law has started allowing parents to put their kids in private schools and keep the public funding. In my tiny town we have a private Christian school newly created for the purpose of taking this money. Each kid that leaves our public school costs the community money because you can't fire 1/20th of a teacher or close 1/400th of a school.
Our schools were already poorly funded because of New Hampshires stupid fucking tax system. There is no income tax and no statewide funding of education, all of the funding is local. The poorest towns pay the most to educate each student for the obvious reason that poverty causes a lot of problems for kids. We also have the lowest property values. This means our town, the poorest in the state pays 10 times the tax rate that the richest community pays, and ends up with the worst schools.
Burn it down
complete abolition of private schooling
yeah, this dump falling apart is kind of amusing in the abstract, but having to actually see what it is doing and will do to average people sucks.
i think a lot about the collapse of the roman empire. how the neglect of critical infrastructure (aquaducts) depopulated Rome, how the provincial system degraded into manorialism and feudalism. the Hell on Earth podcast definitely elucidated the rise of sectarian violence and apocalyptic visions as once universal institutions fell apart.
it's a good thing for a militant empire of slavers to fall apart, but it would be much better for average people and their children if a socialist revolution induced it rather than it being allowed to fracture along ethnic/religious boundaries, giving rise to warlordism as the arbiter of looming resource conflicts.
make no mistake, the opportunists that see the weakening of our public institutions--like universal child education--as an entry point for the parasitic generation of personal wealth and power are the enemies of mankind.
Can't have segregation in the real world? Have virtual segregation.
I'm pretty sure you can still get that in the real world
It's crazy how they gamified the interface of devices and now they are using these same gamified devices to replace paying teachers in schools. Huge corporations continue to lobby schools to implement these programs to continue to gut schools even more. Wild world
