Uh, huh. You’re assuming that public education is the one and only answer and that left alone it’ll produce great outcomes.
Ideology of the last forty years dictates that everything be rationed according to ability to pay. Spread an education budget more ways, with vouchers, and the private school kids will increase their lead over public school kids, because of both funding, and the privates can pick who they want as students, while the publics are stuck with the dregs.
I don't know about other states, but, in Michigan, many school districts have cut trades classes, to save money. Some school districts have cut driver's ed.
Part of "Plan Steve" is to take what Farmington is doing, and ramp it up, so that public high schools charge a thousand, or more, per semester, in tuition, on top of the cost of books, supplies, and the nominal fees Farmington is charging now. That will force more kids out of school, to "learn the dignity of work", at the end of middle school. Meanwhile the state saves millions in public high school funding that they can then give the "JCs" another tax cut.
But playing high school football will continue to be free, because MAGA must have it's circuses. The net sifter says, nationally, only about 29% of college football fans ever graduated from any college. We could probably see the same for hyped up high school football programs, with two thirds of the fans blowing money on game tickets and apparel, actually having never graduated high school.
