OPINION: 'As someone who has just finished her 49th year in public education, I agree with Ducey that every family should have access to high-quality education with dedicated teachers. The implied message in his statement is that private schools succeed…
Gov. Doug Ducey’s justification for allowing any student in Arizona to attend a private school is a major insult to public schools and shows an elitist attitude toward private schools that is far right of reality.
One of my responsibilities as a grant director in a public district is to oversee the expenditure of federal funds provided to private schools within our boundaries. I will attest that private schools have dedicated teachers and administrators who share the values and aspirations of the public schools that surround them.
Ducey said “Our kids will no longer be locked in underperforming schools.” How would he know that a given private school is not underperforming? The assessments that rule how a public school operates are not the same for private schools. The playing field is totally uneven. Placing a student from a low-performing school, especially those in rural areas with a high poverty rate, in a private school is not a guarantee that the student is going to excel.
