TopicEducation
Content Oklahoma spends hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars on K-12 education and yet we rank just above bottom nationally. Instead of pumping more money into a system that obviously isn't working I think the time has come to private all K-12 education. Privatization will allow schools to cut waste and bureaucracy and focus more on educating students by letting them direct monies where it is the most needed. Privatization will also allow schools to compete for the best teachers based solely on merit instead of a union that cares more about getting raises then teaching children. Low income families would not be hurt by this because exemptions for those making less than $30,000 a year could be made to ensure their child can attend school in their district.
