They overbuilt?

Aging demographics? Not as many kids as projected?

What the system really needs, for the kids' sake, is kindness.

There's intellectual development, and then there's whole-human development.

I wonder if what is happening in Plano is happening in Frisco. Plano has been losing enrollment, and I suspect that it's because the city simply isn't very family-friendly anymore Housing is far too expensive for most families, and the push to build a crapload of apartments and condos makes the city less desireable even for those who can afford a house.

Mr D. one factor is geographics limits. As the Metroplex creeps north the former far north surburbs have been limited with new farther north burbs. Frisco is one. HUGE growth until that growth expanded beyond them
Plano would have been smart to do the open enrollment years ago. Plano ISD was the best. then

Why did these folks think they can be activists on the government dime?

Michael Sandel.

This guy is a roughly center-left (old school Moderate Democrat type) at Harvard. He has about a few dozen of these videos where he lectures on how the classic (and modern) philosophers formed the bases for what most think about morality and ethics. Not "political" in a left-right Dem/Rep sort of sense. You can tell he doesn't like Utilitarians or Libertarians though.

An "entertaining" watch for such an academic subject. Worth a look, he has many more--this series of YouTube lectures is apparently very popular in Europe and Asia.
