Reply to comment by halfbakedblake in Rep. Scott Beck: Is this education alliance good for Vermont students? - VTDigger by halfbakedblake

This is a very good philosophical stance to have but the reality of the situation is much messier than that. There has been a very effective status quo in this state for a century where public funding of independent schools played a huge role. The Supreme Court has upended the status quo and there are only bad options left. The students of the NEK receive a better education than rural students in almost any other situation, far better than most public education, and without public funding there is going to be a very real drop in educational outcomes for students in these areas. Are you in favor of that?

There has already been a dramatic drop in education quality as we overload public school because new residence would rather give their children a half-assed education and a long commute at an overcrowded public school rather than sending them to a "religious institutions for indoctrination". Actual quote from this posts comment section.

I never knew anyone who went to MSJ and came out a religious fanatic.

It's actually a University and I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make, but it doesn't corollate with any of my statement. Would you care to clarify?

No, I am not educated enough about the situation. I believe that was obvious in my response.

If you're not educated on the subject and have no worthwhile take or input on the subject why even share at all and if your point was to become more educated why be passive agressive in your reply to this users informative comment even though it contradicts the click bait narrative you were obviously going for here by sharing anything from that glorified tabloid thedigger. The name of the publication alone should make you angry with how similar is sounds to other words.

I hate you can't read subtext. I was not being sarcastic. Mostly for the arguments. I feel people don't usually have their mind changed by reddit, I do not know shit about this. Also, should the word punt or trucker bother me? Thank you for taking the time to talk shit. For your reference, this time I'm being sarcastic.

I hate when people think that they can imply "subtext" to deflect from their stupid takes on things they don't understand when they're clickbaiting.
