@ProPublica

I'm already in favor of banning private schools.

Everyone should attend the same schools. Rich people should not have schools any better or more equipped than the poorest people's schools. Every child needs education and every adult should want them to have it.

@ProPublica I guess the movie Accepted got it right

@ProPublica I find the entire homeschool/microschool movement suspect. It is too often motivated by social or religious prejudices and conducted by parents completely unprepared to instruct complicated or profound subjects. Perhaps okay for basic schooling grades 1-3 but after that? and of course, we only hear about the successful kids, not the majority.

The rules for starting a private school vary wildly across states.

Some require background checks and specific qualifications.

Others invite anyone with a dream and a pulse.
