Are Lakewood schools prepared to teach a full secular curriculum? AFAIK, in high school a lot of the boys schools have ZERO secular studies education. (Heard that from someone with only girls so I don’t know if that’s true)
I also wonder if people understand that government = people. If you take more money from the government, you are ultimately taking it from the people. Taxes will rise.
The answer is actually for people to start funding the education for their own kids. A homeschooling COOP could be a great idea, especially for boys. The fathers can do the teaching (which is still dealing with Torah) and the women can work. Rent and food is a lot less than rent+food+tuition.
