Public Education

Public education in NH is slowly being decimated by divisive state policies. Budget cuts and the dramatic rise of publicly funded private schools are slowly, but surely decimating our schools. NH education funded by local property taxes is pushing the burden onto local residents, with wealthier towns barely able to absorb it (though at unsustainable levels for older residents and others less well off). Couple this increased state funding of private school tuition without any meaningful guardrails or accountability of curricula or metrics and here we are! No transparency for voters who might not agree with having tax dollars used this way but who are living with the consequences. And facing ever increasing demand for their hard earned monies for a program rife with opportunity for corruption, kick backs and failure.

As conservatives have focused more on indoctrination as opposed to critical thinking, their attacks on public schools (teaching critical thinking) have contributed significantly to the great divide occurring in this nation. Further defunding public schools does as well. They are turning a portion of our once wonderful state into close minded goose stepping zealots to the detriment of our towns, states, country and the world.

The reason parents are for allowing thier kids to picks schools abd take their taxed money with them is because our school system is failing the state. Instead of working across town and state lines to find was to improve. The state doubles down on money. It's not money. It's the bad system.
