An unintended consequence of the pandemic is that many parents now see exactly what is being taught to their kids, and don't like it at all. As well as loudly, outspoken parents at school board meetings, and parents running for school board positions, it's interesting to see this article discussing the decreasing income to public schools. I've long felt that the money following the student, whether that's public school, charter schools, or private schools, would bring about a result-focus on teaching that would also bring about a more practical curriculum.
