>You're a pot calling the kettle black when it comes to indoctrination by the tone of your commenting.

So i will make it very clear for you so there is no misunderstanding: I am of the mind that all religious texts should be recycled into toilet paper and every church, mosque, and other religious buildings should be turned into homeless shelters.

Book club member? Sorry but not sorry if i kicked your god.

I know all too well how graduating to HS in the NEK means that the parents now gotta scramble to transport the kids themselves. Cal. Co would be better served with a regional public HS.

What do you not hate? You sound like a bitter old man who plays devil advocate for people getting their shit stolen

Today was a good day for smells

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.

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.

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.

If you think public schools are void of discimination you must of been homeschooled and even then I don't believe you.

The cult of personality has arrived, and they don't like religious institutions. PERIOD.

This thread is just a list of reasons to homeschool.

You have have no idea how limited school choice is in many areas of the state and if not for private and sometimes "religious" institutions families would be put in money harder positions for educating their children.

It's this lack of knowledge of how this state has sustained quality education up for ALL residents is why for the last 15 or so years the quality of education in the state has dropped so dramatically that the income tax isn't the only reason NH is chosen far more often than Vermont for new residents and remote workers.

You're a pot calling the kettle black when it comes to indoctrination by the tone of your commenting.

Majestic!

Schools should not be allowed to discriminate if they receive public funds. The new draft bill that came out of the house committee on education Friday addresses that while preserving school choice in communities that rely on it. S.66 and H.258 were attempts to use Carson v Makin as a pretense to eliminate independent schools- even the four town academies would lose the designation of approved independent schools in those bills.

Well both the Academy and LI are private. You would need to build at least two maybe more public high schools to replace them if no public money flowed to private schools. That's just the way it's always been out here. Essex county just east of the Academy has no high schools at all and many other towns in Caledonia Co rely on those two mainly but also a network of many smaller schools.

They would feature several peoples stories so anyone I’d encourage to call if they had similar experience

I call them and they in deed said they might run a story on this issue

Got anything other than he's republican appointee. I did not and dont know much of anything about him but I never knew this to be a pressing issue until recently nor ever heard a peep outa the governor about his issue either. But if you have something that shows thats why he was hired I would be open to it.

You're late to that whole conversation and the resolution..bye.

Calm down, there is no reason to accuse them of being a shill

Well yeah, Dan French is a Republican political appointee, his view on independent schools is likely part of why he was hired in the first place

You should look hard at St Johnsbury. It is an excellent high school, private, but has lots of local kids go there so still has diversity. You could either be in that town or live nearby in a "sending town" so they would contribute to your tuition.

Burke Ski is nearby. Properties are more affordable than elsewhere.

Another option could be using school choice in the Woodstock High School area. Locate in a cheaper town nearby, send the kids via choice. Killington and Pico are your ski areas...

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

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?

Period!

I have no valid arguments. This was more to get an understanding of this article. It was a bit confusing to me. I know he works at the academy and was reading from the view point he wants to protect them.

I don't think we should build highschools across the nek. I don't think religious or private schools should get my money either. I would also like a better choice, I am truly not well enough informed to give one.
