Anthony Sabatini, who is running for Congress in Florida's 11th district, reportedly made the remarks during June's Florida Teenage Republicans Youth Summit.
I mean, there have been examples of government funded vouchers ending up going to scam charter schools because Republicans are also deregulating private schools. There are lots of horror stories about charter schools.
I’m sure there are, personally I prefer decentralized schooling and ending mandatory schooling. My experience in public school was terrible for me, by far the worst experiences of my life.
Stop strawmanning what I said, it’s not a discussion or argument- it’s just insulting. And, no, saying people shouldn’t be forced to do unpaid labor for 13 years of their lives forced to sit in desks when their body is built to move and learning things that honestly are not, and will not be useful for the vast majority of them. If it were about basic knowledge there would just be one test and when you pass it you don’t have to go to school anymore. But it’s not.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t have the choice, I do support the choice. I just don’t support false imprisonment
I was going to give you a real answer but I took a little trip through your history and I think I understand what you’re saying now, this conversation is over.
Cool, have fun trying to compete economically with China and Europe with optional education in math and science. Your idea sounds nice in theory, but it’s completely divorced from reality.
May I ask, Did all your teachers do this, or one in specific? Did your teachers refuse to teach you to read and the burden of literacy was solely on your parents?

In elementary school it was roughly half or more of them. There were a couple good(from my perspective obviously) teachers at that school, but it might have been below average.

I imagine they would have, but most people in my classes learned from their parents.
You’re personal life aside, cause I understand middle/high school is the worst, what do you mean by “decentralized schooling” and what does that mean in your view? Is it curriculum or who “runs” the building?
I think there should not be a centralized curriculum and instead schools can choose to teach different things and students choose what schools they go to(which is partially how it worked in my city). Also, it would be great if students could choose to enroll in classes that they thought were interesting and useful to them- and not enroll in others. But, the most fundamental thing, if you think schooling is about basic education than you should just be able to test out of it. My mom and grandma are both public school teachers, and both have agreed with me that the top performing academically in 9th grade know more of the curriculum than the bottom 20% of 12th grade graduates.
Also, the worst for me was actually elementary school.

“I personally prefer the united states become an uneducated backwater because I didn’t like public school”
I simplified it for you.

Wow, you’re actually insane.
Edit: also it sounds to me like you straight up don’t understand the point of education.
What do I misunderstand about the point of education? Also you’re just insulting again.

Oh sweet Jesus you weren’t kidding.
Yeah I don’t engage with those people if I can help it. Ostracisation is the answer.
Have a good evening!
In America it’s called the GED. I know this because a friend of mine took it at 15 and started community college immediately.
In my state you still have to be enrolled in some form of education until you are 18. My dad did the same.

I’m not a nationalist. I don’t see a need to compete economically on a national level. International markets aren’t zero sum.
Can you read this? Thank your elementary school teacher for their effort.
My parents taught me to read. In elementary school my teachers told me I wasn’t allowed to ask questions.
