Is that a current option for the parent whose kid is stuck in a classroom with a lousy teacher, and 19 classmates?

If it's not, how do we change this?

 

I doubt we're limited to two options.

 

Going by your analogy, it seems we could easily fix public schools if we just stopped going to Smallpotatoes' mechanic.

 

Well, I'm sure the root vegetable caucus would argue that "More" and "Much More" are our only options.

 

What about 30 students with a great teacher in a school that needs an SRO, or 20 students with a lousy teacher but the school doesn't need an SRO?

 

We can improve schools, but even the most the dyed-in-the-wool do-gooders aren't up for paying for better schools out of their own pockets.

 

But, the parent, in the failing school, whose child is in a class with 19 other students, and a poor teacher, has no options to get that child out of that classroom.

Shouldn't we try to change that somehow?

 

The two biggest would be the federal government getting more involved in education at the local level, and the rise of standardized testing.

 

Or, parents don't want to send their kids halfway across the city to attend school.

 

How will those non-union teachers fare when they have to deal with kids that the school just cannot kick out for any reason they deem fit?

You keep touting these private schools, ignoring that the schools can pick and choose which students they want in their classrooms.
