Working-class parents often express interest in vouchers. But in Arizona, the nation’s school choice capital, these families aren’t using them due to the inaccessibility of private schools and the costs of transportation, meals and uniforms.
Teachers already have enough shit to do. How about properly staffed support positions like counselors to do that considering it’s already part of their job?
Sure. Teachers would just recommend students meet w/ the counselor if they think they’d have more success in another environment. The main thrust here is to not incentivize teachers to try to hold on to students for better funding or whatever.
We already don’t try to hold onto them for funding. I would love smaller classes so I can focus more on each student. It’s the admin and that we’re funded by attendance.
