“Do Not Turn Your Children Over To These Wicked People,” Says Who?

/ caffeinatedrage

Just remember that the same person who said called  public school teachers “wicked” …

“We’re going to work like heck in Raleigh to make sure these schools get straightened out, but until they do, I’m gonna tell you what you need to do: If they won’t do right, you need to come out from among them, make your own school,” Robinson said in a July speech. “Do not turn your children over to these wicked people. Do not.”

Also identified as this…

And he is currently sitting on the NC State Board of Education.

One thought on ““Do Not Turn Your Children Over To These Wicked People,” Says Who?”

  1. As a rural public school teacher here is what looks like is going on:

    Rural schools especially and other public schools are having money diverted to fund private schools through the voucher program. – That would be fine if all counties and communities had private schools. Many rural areas do not have private school options period. – In urban areas there are issues with behaviors, violence, either unwanted liberal or religious ideologies being taught that cause parents to choose an alternative to public education – It seems urban families have a good reason to want/need an alternative.

    Here are the issues that I see:

    Rural families do not and will never have the option for an alternative schooling option other than homeschooling – If there were then the already struggling public schools would collapse. Many are funded by local funding to stay afloat now. – If there were rural private schools then the teachers would go to where the higher pay is possibly leaving public ed.

    Possible solution:

    We obviously have two beasts here that we are trying to tame with the same stick. There should be two pots of money for education in NC. Rural and Urban. – If voucher money is to be given to an urban school then take it from the urban pot. – If voucher money is needed in one of the few rural areas that has that option then take it from the rural pot.

    There will never be a great solution but there needs to be some distinguishing between rural and urban because they are two very different worlds.

    Thank you for listening to my rant. I may not agree with everything you post but it is good to hear multiple views.

    Have a great weekend,
