Let’s welcome the new moderators of c/politics.
More market share, means more charter schools. You’ve already explained yourself well enough. According to you 4th graders should just go to work and they’re ready to make decisions affecting their future because you hated your experience in school.
Actually you should blame your state, I assume Nevada, for forcing you to stay in school to the age of 18 instead of the public school you wish to replace with charter schools. Why didn’t your parents take you out and homeschool you anyway? Why don’t you blame them half as much as you blame the cruel teachers.

No, when I talked about increased market competition I didn’t mean charter schools. I imagine the government would have a fixed rate per student for charter schools. I was talking about prices could go down in parent paid private schools.

I said if the intention of school is to provide basic knowledge and if a child can demonstrate basic knowledge then they should be allowed to leave schooling.

You are starting to sound a little transphobic- but regardless, a child better knows what they want than a legislature who has never met them.
Actually you should blame your state, I assume Nevada,
Incorrect, why do you assume Nevada? And, I do blame the state government- hence why I want to change the law, which currently has significant influence from the teacher’s union which I suspect had something to do with the law being passed.
public school you wish to replace with charter schools.
I never advocated abolishing all public schools, I don’t think I even explicitly said charter schools were better. I personally am not sure, I think a different model for schooling completely is better. I was just disagreeing with fearmongering about them.
Why didn’t your parents take you out and homeschool you anyway?
They had jobs? And, the state regulations for homeschooling still placed a burden.
Why don’t you blame them half as much as you blame the cruel teachers.
I don’t blame individual teachers, I blame the law- and the people who continue to advocate enforcing it.
I can’t imagine a more contentious, biased moderator.
You blame the state for not funding more charter schools, which is a convoluted way of saying defund public schools.
You blame your parents for not homeschooling you, because they had to work. You yourself would rather just work. Think about it a little. Would you be able to pull your kids out of school, homeschool them if you are busy working? Or would you send your kids directly to work at the age of 10? Would you like the state to rewrite child labor laws?
You blame the state legislators? This is the first time in our serval day long conversation that you mentioned legislators. You previously solely mentioned teachers, your school ect.
Perhaps you should petition your legislators instead of pointlessly arguing with random internet strangers.
I am a public school teacher. I am an educator. My job is helping young children gain life skills in the hope that they will be successful in life. I am only interested in solutions to problems. I don’t see how any of your suggestions lead towards solutions.
Go try to make a positive contribution. You are just complaining that your experience in highschool sucked. ‘Things should be different.’ That’s all I’ve heard from you. How are you going to make things different? Will it be better for all of us or does your solution only benefit your circumstances?
