    Private schools are not public schools. Impoverished cannot afford private schools. And Uniforms are not interchangeable.

      Hey here is an idea. School uniform companies should make it so they have to change it every year like textbook makers do. All it will take to convince the school is telling them that the old uniforms were end-of-lifed and a campaign donation to the school board reps. Parents will be offered a 5% discount if they mail back their old clothing. The clothing will interlock together so you can’t mix last year’s shirt with this year’s pants without it being super noticeable. Which will kill the secondary market.

      CaaS, clothing as a service. You will own nothing and be happy.

      Brb getting turtleneck on, because I am a visionary now.

          Here have some stock in my 80 billion dollar startup. We haven’t made any money yet but we have plenty of venture capital.

          What do you think about data mining our customers and selling that information?

                I think we should just purposely break the website so they can’t give feedback or make it as annoying as possible. Let them waste hours on a website trying to give feedback on a loop of where their login fails and their profile continues to disappear until they give up. Or you could just remove the ability to give feedback altogether. And put a contact number on the website that puts them on hold indefinitely. That’s what I hear the cool kids are doing.

      Ed choice has enabled many kids to attend private schools, tutition is actually less than the cost per pupil that that public schools cost.

        Wtf is Ed choice. Oh. another ‘only American’/scholarship-rewarding-elites thing again. You’re using ‘many’ very liberally.

          A way to divert money from public sector to scumbags in private sector who won’t follow any of the government regulations or take underperforming students.

          Private schools can fire someone for being LGBT, public schools can’t. Private schools can share private medical information with parents (like being LGBT) or seeking birth control, public can’t except under very regulated conditions. Private schools can get out of teaching evolution and sex ed, public schools can’t. The list goes on and on. Public funding of private schools breaks a century of progress. We are going to see a brave new world with football couches and school admins making millions while teachers are making daycare worker salaries teaching from books based on a prot understanding of the bible.
