This is truth. Destruction of public education by conservatives, neoliberals and privateers fits nicely with destruction of workers and unions. It’s control of your population, which is funneled through a view of them as simply future workers for the owner class. I dont know why u would want to be a teacher in a country that just doesn’t give a shit. UK is facing similar.

When each year sees cuts to school programs and all that remains is kids sitting in front of screens (even PE is watch what TV shows and repeat), privatization is only remaining option for parents. The sad reality is that not many parents can afford it, especially if they have more than one child.
Meanwhile all your taxes go to pay salaries in the hundreds of thousands, to administrators that have nothing to do with education.
