But politically speaking, it will be next to impossible to get implemented. Especially given our current governor.

You're also running afoul of Article VIII § 2 .

I once agreed with an unlimited approach to financial credit (vouchers), until I was invited into some local schools to see first-hand the type of student the money-centered approach brought with it.

Local control definitely comes into play when the teachers and school administration cannot control students who have not previously been under any type of control whatsoever.

I highly recommend that anyone who feels any differently to come on down to districts like Fitzgerald, Van Dyke, East Detroit or Lakeshore.

If you do, make your visit as low key as possible. Ideally, try to find a parent you can shadow for some time and walk around with them, especially during lunch, recess and when school lets out for the day.

If you visit them in any official capacity, I can guarantee that you'll skew what you observe.

"Unfortunately, when it comes to educating our kids, adult issues too often get in the way."

Translation: It's for the children.

Both sides of the aisle in Big Gummint Lansing have started using that line of crap.

"their parents have no vote on the boards if from outside the district"

But.. but.. it's about "educating our children".  That won't last long.  Guaranfugginteed.
