Public schools should not need "marketing". Private schools? Who cares. They can market themselves.

Public schools are the backbone of the nation.

Here's what's thought provoking. I no longer have a child in the school system. Unless I follow on social media, there is NO COMMUNICATION to me as a taxpayer, including about a proposal to renovate or rebuild the middle school. Not all "stakeholders" are considered equal.

So you’re a shill for private schools? Nope. I’m a retired Canadian elementary teacher. PUBLIC school teacher. Some things shouldn’t be about profit. This is DEFINITELY one of them. Education is a basic right. Religious schools? Sure. “My kid gets a class with 15 kids. Yours? Who cares.” Unethical.

Thanks for the comment. I'm not a shill for private schools. I had worked at private schools for 28 years and wanted to share what I've learned. I'm pro-public schools and believe that different schools serve different kids better. P.S. I hope your Bills win this weekend.

I hope the Bills win too. But what you’re saying (pro public schools) doesn’t fit with working at private schools for almost 30 years. Private schools were always the refuge of teachers who couldn’t get on with a public board. No union. No rules around pay, work conditions, etc. No THANKS.

The only reason to market schools is if they’re private schools. I think public education is best.

Why does a public service need to spend on "marketing." It's not supposed to be profitable, and all money they have should go to the service they are providing. Not advertising. This smells toxic as fuck.

realfucktrump.bsky.social•35 days ago

Not sure I understand. What, exactly, is "school marketing." Frankly, if it's not turning a profit at the expense of education, it needs a new name.

tcamp22.bsky.social•34 days ago

That’s exactly what it is, selling schools useless educational strategies at a profit. As a retired high school teacher, I can’t tell you the number of “the next best thing” seminars we had to sit through that disappeared when the administration changed.

Why do public schools need marketing? Or are you working towards public funds on private education... that's just wrong.

This sounds like
"not educating young people " more like they are just numbers. Where's the moral character, sportsmanship, kindness let alone facts. Historical, literature, math, geography, civics?

If I see vouchers or school choice you will lose a follow. I am pro public school. Texas is in for a fight starting Tuesday with the next Texas Legislature session beginning.

schneiderb.com•36 days ago

No, I'm pro-public school as well. Actually, I'm pro all types of schools because I believe that different schools can serve different students better. There is no one-size-fits-all for kids.

So I'm curious when a "lay" poster follows me

But has never posted or reposted regarding some issue such as book banning (and yes, I understand business has not to offend customers, thereby keeping mum)

Do you have an opinion on this current trend?

revrae19.bsky.social•36 days ago

Why do public schools need marketing? To keep kids out of private schools? I'm truly curious and it's too early to do a deep dive into my brain to figure it out 😊

baseballmom14.bsky.social•31 days ago

They need "marketing" in a different sense: to communicate with not only parents, but other taxpayers. No kids still attending school, no proactive communication.

frodo58.bsky.social•26 days ago

I'm 66 and my son is 27. I have no money either. So please don't hit on me for ANYTHING. Thank you very much. I will "Refollow" you. Ciao.

Why does such a thing exist?

figurine1007.bsky.social•26 days ago

Maybe abandoning the "relying on reputation" to embrace capitalist marking strategies and replacing teachers with parents isn't such a good idea.

figurine1007.bsky.social•26 days ago

I believe in public funding of schools, not marketing based schools.
