I think this has broken me. Usually I kinda cheer along to the plight of America's collapsing empire... but this. I'm just sad. It makes me cry to think there are already kids being shoved through this nightmare 'school'. What is this point in history? What are we becoming? I don't like it, I dread what is to come.

Every day a little less human. Every day a little more spreadsheet.

In New Hampshire a new law has started allowing parents to put their kids in private schools and keep the public funding. In my tiny town we have a private Christian school newly created for the purpose of taking this money. Each kid that leaves our public school costs the community money because you can't fire 1/20th of a teacher or close 1/400th of a school.

Our schools were already poorly funded because of New Hampshires stupid fucking tax system. There is no income tax and no statewide funding of education, all of the funding is local. The poorest towns pay the most to educate each student for the obvious reason that poverty causes a lot of problems for kids. We also have the lowest property values. This means our town, the poorest in the state pays 10 times the tax rate that the richest community pays, and ends up with the worst schools.
