This is the perfect example of the games school choice opponents play.
She claims constitutional concerns about EdChoice and then references $3B spend.
But the $3B (rounded up to the nearest billion btw) includes non-EdChoice scholarships for Autism, Special Needs, and Cleveland students which have been found constitutional by the Ohio and US Supreme Court. She's playing the games she accuses us of.
These are the games that prompted the creation of this account in the first place.
We bring facts and our calculations are simple and straightforward. Total scholarship dollars and total scholarship students as a percent of total taxpayer spend and total Ohio students.
Because opponents play games, they assume everyone does. And they deny the simple, straightforward math when they are faced with it.
We believe the math is simple, the truth is straightforward, and they tell a story school choice proponents should be proud of.
We will continue to tell that story.
Funny how “school-choice” advocates always switch the denominator. This is misleading AT BEST, but since you are in fact, a propaganda machine, I’ll say it’s misleading ON PURPOSE to try and make your fleecing of taxpayer dollars 💸 more palatable.
The question isn’t whether vouchers are 4% of education spending.
The question is why Ohio can spend over $3 billion expanding vouchers while still refusing to fully implement the bipartisan Fair School Funding Plan that was designed to address the unconstitutional overreliance on local property taxes?
One program is optional. Following the Ohio Constitution is NOT.
Yesterday: All school choice students should take state tests.
Today: State tests in public schools are a waste of money.
Why? Since Covid, test scores are down in public schools and up with school choice participants.
Someone needs to call bullshit on the entire system. We’re wasting money and have been for 30 years in Ohio.

"We're wasting $$$ and have been for 30 years"
We thought it was a rare moment of honesty from the @OFCSDistrict superintendent after he moved into their new taxpayer-funded admin building.
Nope. Still wants his new building. Just no publicly reported standardized tests.

If you want to understand the sudden backlash against standardized test scores from public school officials, look no further than this chart.
Ohio public schools have spent over $125 BILLION DOLLARS and scores still haven't recovered to their pre-Covid baseline.

School choice works
The recent PISA results underscored the validity of England's knowledge-rich approach to education. Nashville Classical Charter School is proof that American public schools can do the same.
"By eliminating time spent trying to teach abstract “critical thinking,” we have more time to build knowledge and vocabulary, which are the actual building blocks of comprehension."

It's easier to blame the test than to try to figure out the reasons for a low test score.
Why do the loudest critics of school choice always end up picking a school of their choice for their own kids?
This seems timely. "[Chuck Todd] expressed frustration over the extensive power given to parents to choose their children’s education."
"While admitting that he and his wife sent their own children to private school when they reached high school age in Washington, D.C., Todd still seems unable to accept that parents broadly want school choice."

NHJ knew her chosen public school failed her daughter and this was a lie when she posted it 2 years ago.
Just like those who’d take choice away from disadvantaged students lie when they say school choice only helps with wealthy.
This is the position held by nearly every school choice opponent.
They’re willing to condemn today’s kids to a lifetime of lost potential for the vague promise that their sacrifice will eventually pay off for others. They’ve being doing this for generations.
Excellent explanation of why many arguing for required use of state tests in private schools are doing so in bad faith. Aligning assessments to curriculum is critical to get meaningful results.
"as opponents of school choice realize they can’t kill ESAs, they will increasingly claim accountability can only be found through comparability to public schools. School choice proponents should realize these proposals for what they are: an attempt to use ESAs as a tool for educational homogeneity." washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…
It's always sad when someone forces a child to attend a school where they can't reach their full potential in the belief that at some nubulous future date, things will get better and their sacrifice will be worth it.
This is no different.
It's just sad.

Josh Cowen: I stopped saying "but public schools serve all kids"
Someone should tell @VouchersHurtUs so they can make a new meme w/ the new quote.
Contrary to what some suggest, Ohio's new EdChoice Expansion participants saved taxpayers $160M last year.
By the time the kindergarteners graduate high school, they will save taxpayers over $1B.
Read this. And then thank a teacher that you can. Too many can’t.
Maurice Clarett says learning to read in prison changed his life
“I couldn't read real well, comprehend, do anything prior to playing football. I'm never going to be able to play football again. I'm thinking, ‘I got seven and a half years. I'm 22. I'll be 30.’ So I was like, ‘Man, I'm going to go ahead and just start to educate myself.’”
“When dudes would send me $40, $50, $60, I would take this stuff and I was like, ‘Man, I'm going to just start learning how to read, become interested in something, and just become good.’”
“The next thing I know, the same passion that I have for football and film study… I was like, ‘I can read, and I like reading, and I enjoy reading, and I enjoy comprehending.’ I enjoy having a better vocabulary or communicating to different people. That's what really happened.”
“Reading changed my life like nothing else. Reading and self-education was what really changed. That just kind of set me on a different path. What I thought was possible, or who I see myself as…”
"there should be more shame (and consequences) for people who send their kids to private schools"
She actually said out loud what many school choice opponents think.
This quoted post is unavailable.
Choice opponents are resigning themselves to the fact that families and voters like "choice". This is why they are turning their focus to imposing "limits" on programs.
Unfortunately, too often their "accountability proposals" are just bad-faith conditions that would replicate the public system in private schools, leading to the same results.
Examples:
- State-specific testing requirements not aligned to their curriculum
- All students in all classrooms
- Oversight by the state instead of other accreditation or auditing bodies
- Income limits for eligibilty
- Union requirements
We've said before we hope the test results of all schools turn out to be valid.
With that said, school choice is hurt by bad actors, and supporters need to hold them accountable, not make excuses.
80% of Ohio public schools have open enrollment. Those that restrict enrollment are primarily wealthy suburbs like Jim’s.
Now they complain private schools have an unfair advantage in sports b/c they can enroll students from urban districts but the rich publics can’t.
Here’s an idea: Change your policy to admit the city kids too.
