He'd still be wrong. Public schools are nationally underfunded and fall under the test requirements of No Child Left Behind, a program that cuts funding to any school that doesn't raise their test scores every year. Meaning a school could score 95% on year, and 94% the next and lose their funding if they decline 2 years in a row. Hence why my kid has had 2 schools close on her.

The right wing hates federally funded public schools and this is their bullshit way of saying "see, public schools don't work". It's just a way to propel their bullshit voucher programs which are a roundabout way to fund private schools that cherry-pick students and don't have to answer to MCAS-like testing.

Those tests cost a small fortune too. They're mandatory but the schools have to pay for them. UNDERFUNDED. Oh and guess who's brother works in the standardized testing business?
