It can’t happen here, Charter Schools is business not education. White parents don’t want their kids with Black kids. Under Trump, White asshole Karen women have taken over the School Boards.
That actually started back in the 90s. The Heritage Foundation widely encouraged conservatives to join local governments & school boards and they did. Democrats are decades behind that 8-ball.
Americans have been, and are now, being propagandized to believe that the human divide is racial and not financial. Maybe if more people wake up, we can have nice things too.
That was by design and obviously very effective. No one attacks the Billionaires and plutocrat Tech-bros over the insane wealth inequality they have like they attack neighbours, family and friends over political divide. It was the perfect strategy.
Also, city planning in Finland is done so that there's always detached houses, city rental apartments and everything in between somewhat mixed in the same areas, so the schools actually have a pretty good cross cut of the society too. Also, no gated communities.
Finland also actively engages in #UBI strategies and progressive housing for the homeless. While both sides here don't even bother to try any of these solutions. It's because progressives and the left are being forced out. Now it's just centrists and alt-right competing for positions of corruption😒
Otherwise all true, but the rich do not invest in public schools. Funding is done via taxation. There is no system for investing directly or voluntarily. Taxation is not voluntary. It's also progressive: the more you make, the higher the tax % (max almost 60 %).
We don’t have billionaires or super rich people. We pay a lot of taxes and all of the schools are publicly funded. The teachers have university degrees.
Doesn’t mean there isn’t any problems of course. The teachers’ job is harder due to mental health issues the kids have, especially after corona time. And the level of learning isn’t as high as it used to be.
