Each and every three years when PISA is given we decline more and more.

If the goal is "Race to the Bottom" then yes, we are doing pretty well to achieve that goal.


So you give the parents vouchers.
What's left in the public school system ....a juvenile detention center operating as a half way house run by union teachers.

I know. The left can't have it both ways. They claim we have a broken health system. That we are in the 30s in terms of rankings.

Yet they keep defending the public school systems especially to keep throwing money at poorly performing inner city schools.

Vouchers give the poor a fighting chance though.

That Harlem charter school in NYC that DeBlasio closed was full of inner city youth whose parents gave a damn.
They had a 96% passing rate on state tests. NONE of the NYC public schools even come close to matching that.
