Do John McKay and the Gardiners know that Ron DeSantis and Doug Tuthill and Richard Corcoran are destroying everything they worked for and attached to the prestige of their family names?
First and foremost you are judging a book by it cover and that's not what an educated person does.(If you are) You are being so judgemental with so little information. Ok, I could understand if uou went inside and saw that the kids wasn't learning then we have a conversation. But you view are solely on one's opinion and yes you have a right to your opinion. What about Lakeland Christian School a predominantly white school that rally behind rich parent with money! Do they care more for the children education or on the status of how much you mother, father makes. The average black child doesn't have a chance in a school on that caliber. So what it's a small school! So what the take scholarship that's what they are for. It not about quantity it about quality. Too bad you couldn't go inside those door because you would of been writing a different article. Because behind those doors are administrators and Teachers that love on their students, motivate them, give them hope. Something that public school been stop doing caring for the students. So, how I feel you didn't want to go inside because you was really close all you had to do is call & they would of been happy to let you in. But what you really wanted to do is rambling with this long article with know meaning. So, if anyone read your article that has a little scene they will know you are just an angry, miserable person that had absolute nothing to do, but judge a book by its cover. And also by the way the owner of that school gives back to the community why don't you knock on the door and meet them they are loving & kind people.

Actually, I'm judging the book by what Step Up for Students says about it -- the scholarships it takes, the nature of its enrollment, and then, of course, the complete lack of outdoor facilities for its special needs kids. But I'd love to love have a discussion with the owner.

I don't at all disagree that the lack of oversight that "schools" like this receive is a pitiful and dangerous circumstance. BUT -- having done much of my elementary education in a one-room, multigrade school-house with about 7 other students, and thrived in that, the prospect that it could be feasible to gather 8 students together for learning and receive $80,000 from the state government for their education, is incredibly attractive.
1000 sq ft office space rental: $10,000. Utilities: another $3000 Curriculum and materials: $3000 per student (24,000) to start up, and probably somewhat less going forward. Teacher salary from funds remaining: $53,000. Plus the teacher gets to be his/her own boss, take control over the curriculum, and enjoy the bonuses of not dealing with the drama that can go on in schools and paperwork and testing? Concern about outdoor space can be alleviated by locating it near a park. I bet a qualified and passionate elementary school teacher could come up with a really enriched and vibrant learning experience for those students that would not involve hours of homework a night, and would be paid better than all but the most experienced county teachers.
Now, the increased level of specialization necessary in high school might make this a bit more difficult, but in elementary it could be fantastic.
Not saying that this is what goes on here. But it COULD be.
Oh yeah, I have no problem with serious small schools. I have problems with schools that say all their kids are ESE but they don't provide ESE services. You have to decide if you think this school actually has capital. "If" is doing a lot of work in your scenario. But small at scale is more expensive, ultimately. Need a lot more money than what you're saying. No capital in what you describe -- just cash flow.

Ugh -- my math is bad. The teacher only gets $43,000 in this scenario, not 53. Still, not bad if a spouse has a job with good healthcare.
