Secretary of Education DeVos' comparison between school 'choice' and a person having a choice in shared ridership (Uber or Lyft) over a taxi is both ill informed and it sends the absolute wrong signal regarding the issue of public education.
Yesterday I made a point about a person using his/her private funds for grabbing a ride and how that significantly differs from the use of federal tax dollars which are public monies earmarked for education. As everyone knows the use of and accountability for each stand in stark contrast to one another.
I'd also hasten to add that putting federal dollars into vouchers will undoubtedly mean that monies earmarked for various neighborhood schools and federally mandated programs - THAT DO WORK - will go wanting. In short, the schools that most need the federal dollars will be left begging. What a crime!
