@nckhui What makes people think choosing some new school that isn’t being regulated is the solution. If the state would trust educated professional teachers to do their jobs parents wouldn’t need a choice other than public schools!!!!!
@nckhui Actually, it honors the choice ~80% of NC parents by offering more classroom support for student learning. Thank you @juliefornc It’s interesting how vouchers as a 0 sum game are apparently only a one-way street to many in #ncga #ncpol #nced
