The increasing clamor for private-school tuition vouchers is a direct threat to public education's survival in the next century. Vouchers siphon off much needed funding from public schools. This downward spiral will only create pressure for more vouchers. Charters today are too often run by businesses out to make a buck, not educators with visions they want to try to realize. The results are predictable.
Children become mere moneymakers for the companies involved.
If charters continue, with little public oversight, we won't have much in our education budgets left in the next century for children to receive the education they deserve. Lack of Parental Involvement. The absence of parents in our schools is another factor that leads me to believe that public education may not survive. Parental support has always been the backbone for public education. With dwindling parental support, lines of communication tend to close.
