Putting kids last.

So if your school district was posting a 10% math proficiency and a 17% reading proficiency, would you keep your kids there? No, you would move them.

In the world of teachers unions, they want you to keep your kids there. I know there are more cruel things that people can do to innocent children but to willingly continue to dumb them down with way below standard education is cruel and disgusting.

It's what rats do. If they ain't chopping breasts and dicks off, they are trying to make sure they don't get educated. The kids don't stand a chance.

Somehow we have to rescue children from the demonic clutches of liberal rats. They are just inhumane.

There is a concerning number of places around the country where it is nearly impossible for educational achievement to get any lower.

Tennessee’s Jackson-Madison County School District appears to be one of those places. In 2021, its schools had an average math proficiency of 10% and an average reading proficiency of 17%. This put it in the bottom 10 of Tennessee school districts and in a significantly worse position than the national average.

It would be reasonable to conclude that this may be a prime location for a new charter school. Adding a little competition that reorients incentives toward boosting learning outcomes seems like a good idea.

Well, so did the American Classical Academy, which applied to start one in the district. However, earlier this week, the school board denied its application. This is the second time it has been denied, the first time being just a few months ago, now prompting yet another appeal.

Additionally, the practice of having the school board for the district decide whether or not to allow a certain competitor to open up is quite bizarre. It would be as if we allowed McDonald's to decide when and where a Wendy’s can open in the same neighborhood. The reason it is a bad idea is obvious: The incumbent will always resist new competitors if it has any say in it. That is just natural. The difference is that we don’t actually give that power to almost any incumbents other than the traditional public school system.
