Conservatives say the plan would give families stuck in failing school districts a chance at a life-changing escape. But school administrators fear a flood of students they’re not prepared for and who come with needs they can’t afford to accommodate.
WICHITA, Kansas — Kansas stands on the verge of letting students attend any public school — regardless of where they live.
Conservatives love the plan. They say it would give poor families stuck in failing school districts a chance at a life-changing escape.
But school administrators running well-heeled suburban districts already are taking measures to demonstrate their classrooms are full — the one exception the proposed change would allow from barring students who want to transfer into a district they don’t live in.

Twist on forcing students to the charter schools that conservatives are so in love with.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen They Don't want to Pay the Taxes of "Liberal Jews" "Liberal Catholics" and Enjoy the "Benefits". I was Taught to Believe You Get What You Pay For! They Understand the Benefits but are always Looking for the Cheap Way Out! My German/Scottish Ancestry Understands but, There is always a but, On another Level I See them Looking for Another Way to Rip Off Others.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Going way back to my New England conservative roots you have to remember that the first schools in the colonies were pay as you go. There was no such thing as free education for all children. Progressives pushed through the concept but the old school conservatives never embraced it which is why to this day New England has some of the oldest private schools in the country.

I have an article published on Research Gate about public school students attending a so-called "elite" high school. These transfers do not do well academically.

SSgt Richard Kensinger Quite a Dilemma? The "Conservative" "Right" in the Poorer Parts of Kansas Want their Children to Go to School with the "Rich" "Elites" "Not So Conservative" Enjoy the Benefits for their Children! Can't Same that I Blame them! Fighting for Your Children should be Nature. Now what are You Willing to Do? Game the System or Move to the "Richer" "Elite" "Higher Tax Braccate". Deny the Taxes that Support that Better Education? I Understand if they Want to Bust My Chops Too, I'm "Johnson County" "Rich" "Liberal Jews" "Gays" Very Smart People. They Want to Have their Cake and Eat it Too. As a Retired Navy Spook, I Understand Gaming Your Opponent!

So instead they want the kids to stay at schools that aren't working. Give the parents the money and let them send their kids to private schools.
