Our public schools are the bedrock of our communities. Kim Johnson and Sandra Ringelstein, running for N.H. House seats in District 3, are staunch defenders of public education.
Disparaging teachers, raising phony culture war issues like Critical Race Theory, opening "snitch" lines, calling community schools "government schools" have all been ploys to tap public school money for homeschool groups and religious schools. Here's the kicker: Edelblut, Cordelli and Co. want no real assessment of student performance or financial accountability.
Home-schoolers and Independent school students statistically score 15% to 20% higher in every metric that gauges academic performance. And, those numbers are conservative.
As for fiscal accountability, they are audited annually by independent accounting firms.
All of this information is widely available for anyone to find. Even those with a public school education should be able to see it.
So the question you need to address is this; With ALL the money we keep shoveling into public education, why are they still doing so poorly? And of course, public school teacher salaries are 10%-20% higher than private school teacher salaries.
Keep it Clean. Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd,
racist or sexually-oriented language. PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK. Don't Threaten. Threats of harming another
person will not be tolerated. Be Truthful. Don't knowingly lie about anyone
or anything. Be Nice. No racism, sexism or any sort of -ism
that is degrading to another person. Be Proactive. Use the 'Report' link on

It's very simple, competition drives performance.
