I just don't teach my children work ethic I teach about 150 kids a day about work ethic and that the best way out is through education so saying that I am anti hard work is well about the dumbest comment ever. So I have zero idea about Philly schools just like you have zero idea about my school and my teaching ability but I will entertain you question about taking Philly and making the entire thing private school set up. So here are a few questions
1. If every school is Private does that change the kids who are going to those schools? Same kids same parents same neighborhoods same problems if all are private what changes? The biggest problem with schools are not teachers and the millions they make but the lack of parent involvement,
2. How do you pay for it? I think Philly has what 500K school aged kids how and who pays for that? How do you pay for materials, teachers, buildings, administration, where does that come from? Ok you take away the evil pension the end all be all problem with Philly public schools how do you pay? And good luck finding teachers then because you will have to pay more to get teachers. That is who NC has over 5000 jobs unfilled right now in education because they do not pay.
So there are a couple of big problems there and you might want to look at the southern states as far as education goes, they have been cheap, have cut education and are behind states like PA, OH, DEL, CONN, MASS, MI, ect. Does Philly have problems hell yea but I see a ton of public schools in PA that are just as good as private schools like I said Mt. Lebonan, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Cumberland Valley, North Allegheny, Erie McDowell, State College, Pine Richland, Strath Haven, all seem to be putting a ton of kids into great schools. And taxes well just look at places like Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia ect where Reps have cut taxes and are now faced with a budget shortfall, they can not pay bills great job Grover Norqvist
