In addition to the points about private and religious schools'
elitism, racism , obscurantism taught etc. which are in the main
superstructural
aspects in any class divided society. Other horrors are wrapped up in
schools for profit vouchers..
And here too -- "It's the economy stupid!!" There is a lot of foot loose
capital
lying around with rich idlers and venture capitalists searching for
industries to make
better than the average rates of profits than in their existing ones.
Prop 38 would mean a $4,000 voucher for EACH student, each yr. . That is a
hefty chunk
of cash . There will be a myriad of street corner outfits ready to set up
those Play
Chess-Checkers and Blocks all day schools of parasite 'entrepreneurs' that
would love to get
in on this gravy train . If each new Street corner school for profit got
35 kids , thats $140,000.00-yr
before meager expenses. Nothing to spit at for start up exploiters
(probably those who failed in other businesses). And no doubt larger
capital ( small banks, etc) might also want to get in on this action.
Under Prop 38 they could warehouse the kids all day --and there is NO
accountability!
Also wahts to stop some smaller Corner Basement "Academy" from cashing in
vouchers for
$4 G-s each and giving a kick back of $1000 to "friends" and "neighbors"
who enroll their kids?
Also back to the politics, there are NO credential requirements (as
mentioned), NO background
checks for employees and owners of these voucher schools (That would be
costly and cut into
profits -always held sacred by profiteers !) And ZERO safety concerns for
the kids ! Anybody can set up
a "Voucher Academy" . Who knows if they are criminals, scam artists, or
WORSE for the
kids .
This is the epitome of the bosses "free market" where for-profit means
ultimate "freedom" -- to rip-off
and scam,even prey on children ,etc. More license for the most despicable
predators --all
in the name of their blessed 'free market"!
