SUPT. JOHN WHITE HAS A PLAN, BUT IT DOESNT HELP STUDENTS. IT HELPS BUSINESSES AND CHARTERS. According to Mercedes Schneiders blog, What White’s plan will do is provide Louisiana employers with free high school labor for jobs that overwhelmingly require “short to moderate training and experience.” Not only will participating students provide potentially free labor; via Course Choice, participating businesses will actually collect public school funding! Furthermore, if a student refuses to work, no big deal. The Course Choice Industry provider need not even have the student show up– just give the kid a grade and collect the public school money. White cannot change the Louisiana economy by insisting on higher test scores, or by insisting Louisiana high schools cater to Course Choice in the form of a universal vocational education in which students are likely to serve as free labor. What he can do is push both this widespread vocational version of Course Choice and CCSS in order to systematically de-fund already-fiscally-stressed public schools in favor of privatization. Privatization is what White was hired to do. Privatization means charters and vouchers will cause the local public schools to be closed. Parents need to fight charters, vouchers and this workforce training that John White is pushing. deutsch29.wordpress/2014/02/15/john-whites-latest-course-choice-push-equals-large-scale-free-high-school-labor/
