I know my kids cost more for the school system than most. As is happens, I pay school taxes in 2 different counties because of property I own.

Public schools have a legitimate fear of the potential that vouchers have for eventually leaving them with only the most difficult students. Non-imaginary comparisons could be made to urban flight here. The quandary, is that students with problems place a very real hardship on students without difficulties. No one wants a disadvantaged child to be left behind, but at the same time they do not wish for their own children to suffer because of these circumstances.

Teachers are almost always to be commended for the job they do. They the are on the front line and in the trenches. Probably my chief complaint of the public system is non-productive bureaucracy and hierarchy that leaves teachers to fight the battle alone. Administrative bureaucracy should be drastically flattened and more teachers hired to reduce classroom size. Teachers are a minority in a bloated system, which desires to protect itself and this is my greatest grievance with the unions that seek less to serve the child than themselves.
