I cannot remember the details, but I believe several years ago "60 Minutes" did several programs on educators who had gone into the worst schools in NY City and the kids were like sponges, they loved learning and were destined to have a successful life. Kids like this probably add more to a country than a lot of the private schools turn out.
Does anyone ever look at the qualifications level of the people who get voted onto school boards? You only need one loud mouthed parent to get a group of people stirred up and vote in people who are not qualified to decide what type of education your children need.

So these educators went to the worst schools in NYC, and the students were fabulous and absorbed knowledge like a sponge absorbs water. What then is the issue at NYC schools. If the NH teachers had the kids learning like little Einsteins, the regular NYC teachers must be horrible. Would that be your conclusion?
In 2022, twenty three Baltimore City PS'shad zero students that were proficient in math. Not one student. As there are probably not enough exceptional NH educators to go around all fifty states, maybe we should allow parents to decide what school to send their tax money and child to.
