Arizona Gives School Choice to All K-12 Students
This session, let's expand school choice any way we can," declared Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey in his State of the State address on Jan. 10, "Let's think big and find more ways to get kids into the school of their parents' choice. Send me the bills, and I'll sign them." The Arizona Legislature on Friday night answered Ducey's call, passing a bill to expand eligibility for the state's Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (also known as education savings accounts or ESAs) to all K-12 students. Once signed into law, Arizona will reclaim its title as the state with the "most expansive ESA" policy in the nation. Empowerment Scholarship Accounts empower families with the freedom and flexibility to customize their child's education. Arizona families can currently use ESAs to pay for private school tuition, tutoring, textbooks, homeschool curriculums, online courses, educational therapy, and more. The ESAs are funded with 90% of the state portion of Arizona's per-pupil funding, including the additional funds for students with special needs. Currently, about a quarter of elementary and secondary students in Arizona are eligible for an ESA, including students with special needs, students assigned to low-performing district schools, the children of active-duty military personnel, and a few other categories of students. The Arizona Senate passed HB 2853 on Friday night on a vote of 16 to 10. Earlier in the week, the Arizona House of Representatives passed it by a margin of 31 to 26.Break the teachers unions. Defund the government schools. End government payments to the institutions and organs of the left.

I'm down for all of this, but there's a nagging question. What do you do with the kids that are problem children? In gov't schools, they're very hard to kick out and even then, they're usually back in days.
With private and charter schools, those kids just get ejected.
Are we ready to let these kids completely leave the school system, or are we going to create alternative schools where it's basically juvenile detention with books?

The shrieking and moaning by public school officials as enrollment falls is going to be EPIC. It won't even take much to completely detonate the school systems' budgets and capital positions. I'd bet that 10%-15% decline in enrollment would break most school districts.
What will be even more delightful is when a bunch of teachers and virtually every administrator is unable to find work in the non-system schools. Who would take them?

Either, or something else. But if I have a class of 25 kids and one of them is making me unable to teach the rest because, he needs to be kicked out. Whether he's just out and thrust onto his parents or whether he goes to some sort of educational halfway house or something else, I don't know. If more states do what AZ is doing, we'll find out how to handle this because the states will probably try half a dozen different things and we'll figure out what works.

We have 3 choices:
1. Recognize that these kids aren't getting an education now. Give a gallic shrug an move on.
B. Open juvvie centers to house them, provide "structure" to their lives and attempt to educate them. This would, in all likelihood, fail.
Γ. Continue as we have been despite the fact that it's already been shown to be a failure.

Allowing gov't schools to do this would fix a lot of their problems. The second change that would probably fix the rest is putting kids in the grade that matches their ability. No more putting kids who are four grades behind in the slow class. If they're the age of a fourth grader and have the skills of a first grader, put them in first grade.
Before you ask, yes, there are loads of kids who are four or more grades behind.

This would be better than what they currently have, where public schools (for them) are basically just juvenile detention without books.
That said, that’s a problem we won’t know how to solve until we see both the extent and who is affected. Currently, those children are completely abandoned by the educational system, assuming that the system is meant to educate.
By identifying who they are, we’ll have a much better idea of what to do to actually help them become educated.

School choice polls particularly well and is quite popular with a core Democrat demographic: black single mothers in the inner city. It turns out, unsurprisingly, that black mothers in the 'hood care about their kids, too, and if they could get them out of the gangland disaster of the inner city schools, a lot of them would do so.

Step 2 is your local school board. With declining enrollment, the local public school system will need to lay some people off (especially administrators) and perhaps close some schools. No one but the elected school board will do that, and only if you elect school board members who answer to taxpayers and are not a rubber stamp for the administration. Otherwise, you will have the perverse result of the revenues from property taxes staying flat or increasing while enrollment declines -- so the state money overall may go down, but the local money per pupil increases.

A part of me agrees, but they're kids. Our side correctly states that kids aren't wise enough to make all sorts of decisions. They're not old enough for puberty blockers. They're not old enough to vote. Adults have to override kids' decisions all the time, because they're stupid and inexperienced.

AL had a similar bill proposed in the last session. It was reported out by the relevant Senate committee, then died an ignominious death in a House committee.
That's what's been happening to meaningful school choice for years here.
AL has had zero Democrats in any statewide office for several years. Republicans hold super-majorities in both houses. No Republican officeholder expresses support for the AEA, but somehow the AEA always gets its bills passed.
How can this be? It's a mystery wrapped in a confuzzlement topped with a light dusting of fuck you.

No, I said what I meant to say.
I live in the rural south. Most of our problem kids are white kids. But most from broken homes. Most need a firm hand and discipline that they've never received from the "brave, single mom".
But I've watched many a one succeed when given direction either in the military or in a jobs training program.

I am familiar with the phenomenon, having coached little league.
This is part of the reason we choose to home school. They can have the teaching to lowest common denominator. I won't be part of it, and until the teachers and unions can be turned back to their original role of teaching, there is not much I can do for those kids by fretting about their situation. I will continue welcoming them into BSA and little league and will attempt to provide a positive role model and feedback.
They would frown on me going into public schools and enforcing behavioral standards with an iron fist.

Even in deep blue cities like NYC the charter schools are slowly but surely making in-roads, despite the absolutely hysterical opposition of teachers' unions and their assorted shills and pimps. When given a choice, parents of all races -- including specifically blacks -- chose the charter schools over the hellscape of inner-city public schools every single time.

O/T question to anyone who knows. What's the rationale behind extending suffrage to the Indian reservations? The reservations are semi-sovereign and get to set their own rules and are allowed to ignore a lot of laws. They're in their own political category and aren't fully subject to US law and it's always struck me as odd that they get included in the electoral vote. They're US citizens (like people who are from the Territories are), but not exactly in a state. Or is it part of the treaties that formed the reservations, or is it because they're inside the greater borders and so it all is treated universally or am I missing something or something else?

No one knows how such a thing would work yet. I would imagine something of a cascade hierarchy.
1. School of your choice.
2. If you can't get into any of your choices, or get kicked out of them, or don't make a choice, you land in a government school
3. If you can't be managed at the government school because you're either chronically disruptive or violent or because you're mentally disabled, you get shunted into either a special-needs school or a reform school.
The problem in such a scheme would be in step #2, since it would require reforms within the public school system.

Either, or something else. But if I have a class of 25 kids and one of them is making me unable to teach the rest because, he needs to be kicked out. Whether he's just out and thrust onto his parents or whether he goes to some sort of educational halfway house or something else, I don't know. If more states do what AZ is doing, we'll find out how to handle this because the states will probably try half a dozen different things and we'll figure out what works.

Welcome to your new office. Kinda small, but that's those damned deplorables screwing with the budget. We should get the desk and chair in about 2 weeks, right after the internet service gets hooked up.
Cell reception isn't so hot here, as a matter of fact, the steel walls kind of act like a Faraday Cage. IT Department is promising to work on that, should be about 2 weeks.
But we have free snacks in the breakroom. Sopackco gave us a raging deal on Charms.

My wife grew up going to various small Christian schools. They got the kids who were kicked out of public schools for "behavioral problems."
The idea that religious schools don't have to concern themselves with juvenile delinquents is a Teacher's Union lie. They actually take the hard cases and attempt to help reform them instead of warehousing them like public schools.

The system in AZ pre-reform already had vouchers for special-needs and underperforming schools. This extends it to all students, including the problem kids. I imagine, following the money, "special-needs" schools will develop to handle problem kids.

It's common for people, even on our side, to say, when something is removed from the heavy hand of Government, "but how will freedom accomplish X?" First, we'll find out, now that the chance for creative solutions is suddenly there. Second, there's an implicit assumption in the question, that the Government version was actually accomplishing X in a meaningful way. Most likely, it was not.

Yep, when a parent goes to an administrator to complain about teaching BS or wokeness or whatever, there is $$ signs attached to it, which is the central problem with all of government action, where there is no bottom line, no financial consequences to mismanagement. So in addition to provide means to find alternatives for their kids, it holds the existing system's feet to the fire and puts real teeth to parents threats of taking their kid and their dollars elsewhere.
Well done.

Speaking of children with special needs...
NYC Angry Mom @angrybklynmom
Just thought you would like to know that I just removed my child from a private special needs service because they are still requiring masks, even though masks are not required in any other aspect of our lives right now.
So honestly, I don't really give a shit about the "my body, my choice" LARPers.
You're not going to believe this, but I just called an alternative for this service, and they are still virtual. Special education students have been completely abandoned by the private and public sector. They are already a desperate population who has been routinely ignored.

I see that farmers are blocking highways in Holland after the government handed down dictates that farmers must reduce their nitrogen usage between 30-70%, causing many farms to shut down.
Doesn't seem like a big deal, but Holland is the world's 5th largest exporter of food.
The regulatory changes are expected to close more than 15,000 farming operations by 2030.

My parents used this threat when i was a problem kid in middle school. I laughed and continued on being an ass. I came home form football practice one day and there he was sitting at the table ready for a chat. I shaped right the F up from there on out.

My father used to pull that on me all the time. "Gulf Coast Military Academy," blah blah blah. Then I found out that they only took boys up to age 12, and I was 14 at the time. It gave me the greatest pleasure of my young life to point the fact out to him.
Yeah, I lost my allowance that week, but it was worth it.

Doesn't seem like a big deal, but Holland is the world's 5th largest exporter of food.
The regulatory changes are expected to close more than 15,000 farming operations by 2030.

It is because of the treaties. Any crime comitted on the Reservation by a non native is a Federal crime because the State has no jurisdiction but the Tribe can't punish non Native, other than expelling.

Maybe pay Mike Rowe* to come talk to auditoriums full of kids and give them a different perspective, remind them that blue collar work is honourable, good, and rewarding, and we really really need qualified workers who can make, build, and repair things because without that, our society decays, breaks down, and dies.
(* Mike's actually really good at this.)

Holland is *tiny*. I looked it up yesterday, and IIRC their geographical area is about half the size of the Greater Los Angeles Metro Area (which is made up of LA and the three surrounding counties).

Nonsense. You'll be perfectly free to continue sending your children to a failing public school where they learn nothing of value. And I fully support that freedom for you.

Lots of curious legal and regulatory changes like this are occurring all over the world. I read an article yesterday that posited a Western effort to create a worldwide food shortage that would be blamed on Pootie to justify WWIII. Just a couple of years ago, this would have sounded crazy to me. Now, not so much.

Sri Lanka solved their ocean eutrophication and met their general CO2 emission guidelines up until the diesel powered pumps stopped and the sewage started running into the streams and the ocean, and the populace started burning government buildings and the houses of government officials.

Our public school had that - run by tough guys who took no nonsense. I had to try and give them a very basic course of Latin which once we adjusted our methods they liked quite a bit - it was like they hadn't really known that others spoke different languages.
If you need a school for problem kids, someone can create one using those credits and possibly claw some back into getting some education.

That ship has sailed, Erik. Public schools as schools are dead and have been for a while. The heartwood is dead and you have to chop down the deadwood and plant some saplings for the future.
Once a system has rejected its premises, you can't undo it, it needs to be replaced.
