Florida parents are taking advantage of an expanded school voucher program championed by Governor Ron DeSantis ®, according to messages from private Facebook groups obtained by Popular Information. The private Facebook messages reveal how parents are using the new
I can defend every single item on that list except air hockey tables when you consider physical education is part of schooling and stuffed animals can be used to communicate some concepts to young kids.
Why does the state need to fund dolls and stuffed animals or any of those other things for homeschoolers when teachers have to buy those things out of their own pocket if they even do? And those kids don’t get to play with them after school. It’s a two-tiered system and it is absolutely unfair.
The teachers are not buying swing sets for their schools.
Regardless nothing about my comment suggests teachers should oay for necessary things
That doesn’t justify what I was talking about at all. And even in that case, the child gets to play with the swing set after school, unlike kids at public schools.
Most public schools have playgrounds already. There are good educational reasons for kids to have them.
Again- kids at public schools can only play on those playgrounds at recess. These homeschoolers can play with their swingsets all the time. That is a two-tiered system.
And those kids parents can get the same money if they choose to homeschool. It isn’t a two tier system.
Of course it’s a two-tier system. Do you think every parent is rich enough to survive on a single income while the other parent homeschools their children?
My buddy is a poet and his wife works for the park services and despite an income of 50k a year they make it work.
Im not sure you understand how many people who aren’t rich homeschool because they cannot afford daycare.
Yes but for each swingset purchsed using state funds for a homeschool kid provides for 1 student whereas each swingset purchased using state money can provide for multiple classrooms of students.
That homeschool swingset is now private property not useable by anyone else that helped pay for it.
People choose homeschooling, fine. Homeschool should never be funded by the public, unless public school is not available or the student cannot attend for legitimate reasons.
You choose to homeschool? Great, you homefund it, too.
So you’re for teachers actually getting money to buy things for their classrooms now instead of using their own?
What about my post would make you think i did not always support teachers having what they need?
They’re not getting this voucher money, and the “parents rights” dopes would cry hard if they were buying this shit
Air hockey is a sport if Foosball is, I’m not disagreeing with you I just was wondering why you draw the line at air hockey
I missed foosball and neither should count as physical activity
