What if I told you the biggest Monopoly We have in America today isn't Google Isn't Apple isn't Facebook isn't Amazon But it's in our K-12 schools and Universities and I have data to prove it And on top of that I'm gonna make an Argument to you today why you ought to Consider having your kids leave Public Schools as soon as possible and by the Way before you say how could you say Something like that Patrick you're a Byproduct of a public school I'm a Byproduct of a public school how could You say something like that you're Assuming that today's public school is The same as the public school you and I Went to a lot has changed and last but Not least I'm going to show you two Numbers the cost of sending your kids to A private school versus a public school Taxes we pay for and you'll be able to Decide and see that private school is Actually cheaper than sending our kids To public school if we allowed it to the Free market to decide so let's get right Into it Foreign I want to make my argument you may like It you may not like it but if you do get Value from this video give it a thumbs Up and subscribe to the channel let's Get right into it let's look at some Stats of private schools versus public Schools in America we have roughly 32
461 private schools 5.72 million Students are in private schools in America which is roughly 10.1 percent of All students by the way 643 000 of the 5.72 million is in California Alone if you were wondering which Private schools are leading the most at The top is Catholic schools 38.8 percent Of them and the least popular is Islam 0.8 percent these private schools Combined have 441 496 full-time teachers Average private school size in America Is only 176 students some of you guys May be thinking it's a thousand it's two Thousand nope that's public most private Schools are very small and the total Dollar amount it takes to operate these 32 461 schools is roughly 87.5 billion Dollars per year they get this through Raising money and through getting Tuition that's how they do they don't Get of money from the government hence It's a private school so now let's take A look at Public Schools we have 97 568 Different Public Schools a total of 50.6 Million students that are enrolled the Average class of a public school is 519 Students remember compared to 176 Students and their funding is roughly 640 billion dollars that you and I paid For once again 640 billion dollars that Uni pay for now on the other hand when It comes down to Public Schools public Schools have 3.2 million full-time
Teachers so if you were to kind of break Down the map in public school for every One teacher There are 16 students and in Private for every one teacher there are 12 students so you get slightly more Attention per student in private than in Public so now let's look at which states Lead the way in enrollments in America I'll give you the top five Public School States in America number one is California 6.86 Million number two is Texas 5.84 Million number three is Ford At 3.38 million New York is four Illinois is five but here's an Interesting stat from 1990 till today Which school has increased enrollment The most look at the numbers Texas has Increased 60.6 percent Florida's Increased 52.9 percent California is not Even half of those two numbers at 26.7 Illinois is at 8.8 and New York is Barely grown since 1990 that's 30 plus Years ago only 3.9 percent so now let's Look at lost let's look at cost if you Send your kids to private school or if We would have done public school with All the taxes we're paying per student The average cost for a private school in America according to educationdata.org Is 12 350 dollars per year and if you Want to know what the high is in Connecticut is 24 000 and Wisconsin is Thirty five hundred but on average is 12 350 okay for private school if you were
To break down the Public Funding the Money you and I paying taxes 640 billion Dollars for 50.6 million students now we Send these taxes to how much we pay per Student here's what the numbers would Look like twelve thousand six hundred And forty eight dollars so now again Twelve thousand three fifty private School 12648 public school less private More for public so the question you Gotta ask is the following I don't have A problem paying more for public because It's better is it where you're like no Public sucks My kids I don't even know what they're Gonna eat the teaching all this other Stuff well then this is why you ought to Consider sending your kids to private School that's what we're having this Conversation so now let's look at a Couple different things when it comes Down to school and what things we should Be concerned about these are 10 or 11 Things they have here number one parents Not being involved enough when you look At statistics of how kids do parents Involvement in school is just as Important if not more important than the Actual school kids go to a vice recently Did a research on this and a guy who's Asian talks about why so many Asians do So well in school and he's trying to Explain to them and everybody's Interrupting him he says look if you
Want to know why kids do so well in Asian families is because parents Typically stay together they have higher Expectations of kids going to school and They're involved they want to know how You're doing in homework they're there You have to give a lot of credence to That so number one the reason why kids Don't do well in public schools parents Are not involved number two classes are Overcrowded we already looked at the Stats earlier on what it looks like for Public School 16-1 versus private school 12-1 the more crowded it is the less Attention teacher is going to put into Your student number three number three Is affordability can the average person Afford to send their kids to school Private school and pay that twelve Thousand three hundred fifty dollars Most of you could think is forty Thousand or fifty thousand but twelve Thousand three hundred fifty to most That's still a lot of money but I'm Telling you right now if you're watching This and you're making 75 grand a year You're making a hundred thousand dollars A year you're making a hundred fifty Thousand dollars into you Pat that's a Lot of money for me to send my three Kids to private school I am telling you Based on some of the things we'll talk About find a way to make that extra Money with a side hustle to send your
Kids to private school I'm not telling You finance your house I'm not telling You take all your savings out of your 401k I'm not telling you to do all that Other stuff I'm telling you find a Secondary income to be able to fund Private schools because public schools Are not what they once used to be number Four Public Schools take a long time to Adapt and adjust to the Innovation That's taking place today so stamp Technology all of that you're way behind The eight ball private schools because There's pressure from parent parents who Are giving money to the private school They can say why are we not making Investments into this why are we not Doing that why are we not doing this and The people running the school have to Listen to the parents because you're Paying them money remember anything That's free is usually cheap and you Have no voice to say anything to them Anything you pay for that service you Can also expect a higher experience and Service if you're paying for it not Telling you we're living in a perfect World but there's more ability to be Able to impose and ask when you're Paying for something then just sending Them to a public school Point number Five school safety a lot of parents Nowadays if you're going to public School parents are concerned are my kids
Safe do schools have the funding to pay For the safety they provide for you and I well we don't have the money the State's not giving us this the state's Not giving us that versus in a private School parents can meet and say hey what Are we doing to make it safer well Here's what we're doing you got to come Through here when you're dropping them Off you got to do this you got to do That that is another thing that a lot of Parents are thinking about not telling You private schools are more safe than Public school but generally private Schools are safer than pop schools so Point number six may be number one on a Lot of parents lists which is curriculum And the woke mob coming after their kids They want to take their kids out of Public schools to put them in private Schools or even consider homeschooling I Want to give you some stats here and you Make a decision for yourself do you Remember at the beginning of the video What's the first thing I said when we Started the video I'm going to share With you the biggest Monopoly in America And it's not Apple Google Facebook Amazon remember that and I said is in Public schools let me give you some Stats in Hollywood what percentage of Actors in Hollywood do you think are Democrats versus Republicans what do you Think it is the answer is 90 are
Democrats 10 percent are Republicans and Generally the 10 that are Republicans They're very quiet now let's break it Down on teachers in public schools Here's the data this is written about in An article by Washington Post by a Research conducted of verdant Labs using Political contribution data on the Democrat Republican divide based on job Type English teachers out of 100 English Teachers in public schools 97 are Democrats three percent of Republicans Health teachers 99 of all public school Health teachers are Democrats one Percent Republicans math and science is The only one that's slightly fairer 87 Percent are Democrats 13 are Republicans Now if you're watching this and you're a Democrat what do you say wow this is Awesome I think what you need to ask Yourself is why are you a Democrat maybe Because all your teachers were Democrats And you eventually got baptized because There was no debate what I like is Debate I'm a public school kid this guy Right here I don't like when people say Look at what Facebook is a monopoly they Got to break them apart they gotta break Apart Apple and Google and Amazon this Is not fair it's abuse this is the Ultimate Monopoly to the same people so Concerned about Apple Facebook why don't We break you apart why don't we make This even 50 50. why don't we make it 50
50. would you be okay with that Specifically if this is shared with a Democratic teacher I'm sure you're Losing your mind right now watching this Getting ready to type and say how much Of a fool I am for giving you these Stats I'm okay with that I have what you Call thick skin is what what I have Because I like debate I don't like the Echo chamber I spend a little bit more Time on this one here because we have a Monopoly and if you as a parent are okay With this send your kids to public School but if you as a parent now know About this data and you're still sending Your kids to public school and not Making that additional money to have That discourse with your kids and don't Be upset that you lose your kids when They turn 18 and they say Mom Dad you Have no clue what you're talking about It's your fault Mommy and Daddy not the Teacher's fault you have a choice to Work a little harder make a little bit More money find that additional 12 13 000 a year maybe twenty thousand dollars Where you're living and send your kids To private school so they don't get Brainwashed this is where you get to Pick and choose what school for your Kids to go to that learn the right Values and principles I'm not talking About being perfect by the way even at Private schools it's generally 50 50
With Republicans and Democrats my kids Go to private schools a lot of their Teachers are Democrats this doesn't mean It's guaranteed that they're 90 Republicans not at all the reason why I Like private schools because it's pretty Much 50 50 in private schools but in Public public schools for law Monopoly Anyways that's Point number six number Seven which is going to seem common Sense to you but it's going to trigger Certain people you ready I believe great Teachers are underpaid not teachers I Believe great teachers are underpaid and I believe Bad Teachers should be fired Not yesterday not a year ago the day They got hired bad teachers need to be Fired there are certain people that Shouldn't be teachers and there's many Of them right now that are still working Because those districts are desperate For teachers and they're desperately Hiring bad quality teachers fireworks a Lot of parents this is something they Think about and it is a concern on Almost every list you look at from the Left the right the middle it doesn't Matter there's a lot of bad teachers out There there are a lot of underpaid great Teachers out there so number eight is Mental health and I want to talk to you From a parent standpoint I'm a parent I'm a father of four kids 11 year old Today 9 6 and a 19 month old and there's
A lot of different things that kids are Dealing with today that is different Than what I dealt when I was a kid I Didn't have Facebook Twitter Instagram All these pressure even Chad gbt we Didn't have any of these stuff right When I was a kid so the challenges are Different however I think in many cases Sometimes teachers also don't know how To handle this not saying teachers are Perfect but they don't know how to Handle this I'll give it to you from my Own personal experience my kid my oldest Son goes to school and a teacher really Has a hard time with this guy so the First thing says oh he can't pay Attention yeah okay you call it what the Whole ADHD thing okay he can't pay Attention he's got to go see this Counsel of this therapist so I don't Know where they're going but because I'm A curious guy I'm following their you Know their protocols so we go and I'm Just waiting for the teacher to Prescribe some medication there you go We sit there and we'll go oh yeah oh Okay cool we'd like to do a test yeah Well I just want to see you guys got a Camera what you do to my son I just got To say I don't have to be in there yeah Yeah oh okay yeah yeah okay no problem Great and then yeah we think your kid Needs to take such and such I said Really yes and I don't think so I think
My kid has what I have it's called being Creative it's called being a young boy And it's called you're all over the Place God knows how many times I moved As a kid I've moved so many times in Iran When The War was happening I moved To Germany refugee camp not learning German and being bullied on not speaking German and looking Middle Eastern in Germany they don't like Middle Easterns If you go there and have to learn how to Make friends and I came to the states And I got to learn another language and We're moving from this from that from This parents divorce trust me life was Very annoying for a long time as a kid So I'm dealing with stuff and I'm Handling stuff on my own too often in These types of cases teachers are not Properly trained on how to handle these Types of kids they automatically put Them in a box and then we find out 33 Years later that kid was a genius we Find out 42 years later when we're using A technology like oh my god oh remember That one kid in fifth grade that we Thought was so freaking weird his name Was Elon is this the same Elon Musk let Me go back wow he was in our class that Was our student what a big mistake on Mine I thought this kid was a troubled Kid no he just wired in a different way Than you are so sometimes parents like I Watch very closely with how my teachers
Sell me who my kids are and when I'm in All these parentage your conference that They do and I'm involved I'm trying to See what they say about my kid and my Wife will always say babe so what do you Think about my kid you know and I'll Just sit there and I listen to him I Won't say anything but if I notice There's not an understanding about the Kid I'll take that moment and I'll say Hey one thing about my son you I don't Know he's like me here's how I was okay Cool this is what works with them if you Need us let us know the more you Communicate the better we'll be able to Work together as a team we're here to Support you but please understand our Son is like Papa no problem great guess What point number one was what parents Not being involved this is the part of What parents got to be more involved Which kind of helps when kids are going Through the challenges that they're Going through in these types of Situations because nobody was involved With me and I was pretty alone I was Like man I don't know who to talk I Thought it was really weird you realize It took me 25 years to realize I was Weird but it's good that I was weird and I'm okay with it but at the time when Everyone's calling you weird you really Think you're weird and you have problems Does that make sense anyways if it does
It does if it doesn't trust me it makes Sense to five to ten percent of people That are watching this so this next one Many parents May relate to and some of You guys will fully disagree with this One too to me it's when we took prayer Out of school and got out of school that Was a problem in my eyes let me explain Myself and you can say I disagree or I Agree do you know what year it was when We took prayers out of school it was 1962. do you know why it was a case Engel versus vital and the simple prayer They took out of school do you know what The prayer was this is what the prayer Was almighty God we acknowledge our Dependence upon thee and we beg thy Blessings upon us our parents our Teachers and our country there's no Jesus mentioned there's nothing Mentioned this prayer is a prayer of What I am grateful for the blessings my Parents my teachers and my country it's Actually a good prayer for kids to have But we took it up now for some of you That love having these debates about God Exists God doesn't exist Faith this Faith that let me just give you my case I believe whether this thing is right or Wrong when the kid becomes an adult he's Gonna go through his own Journey I'll Figure not what God is real or it's not That's his journey but when the kid is Younger and he doesn't share all his
Fears and anxieties with his parents Isn't it better if he believes in a God Or Spirit that's bigger than him that he Can talk to him at any time and he's got His back what do you think don't you Think that helps that kid out a little Bit more on how to cope with these Things while he's 11 years old while He's 14 years old I don't know maybe I'm Wrong and by the way let me tell you the Crazy story I was an atheist for 25 Years myself I'm telling you this myself This much of belief that there is Faith Even when I was an atheist I would pray To a god I didn't believe existed Because others told me try praying and I Was my only out okay and as an adult It's a completely different story Anyways last point we took prayer out I Think it was also problematic and I Think we could solve a lot of different Things if kids can do a simple prayer as Almighty God we acknowledge our Dependence upon thee and we beg thy Blessings upon us our parents our Teachers and our country I think I can Help the kids out a little bit more Dealing with certain challenges that They're dealing with today my final Thoughts on the wrap up I think life is All about risks who you marry risky you Don't know if it's going to work out You're not going to know for decades Maybe it doesn't work out but it was
Great at first having a job risky Starting a business risky Living in America risky driving on the freeway Risky because others are on their phones There is risk involved but there's a lot Of risk today with you sending your kids To public school and sending your kids To colleges that you know nothing about I had a friend of mine who sent his Daughter to a school in Illinois his Daughter and him were like this he says I spent two hundred thousand dollars Sending my kids to this one school every Year she liked me less and every year She was more bitter to me and rather Than coming back home she said I don't Want to come back and be around you I Cannot believe you're a capitalist and You're this I used to respect you all You care about is money the university The father sent two hundred thousand Dollars to created this layer of Division between him and his daughter That him and the two of them were even Like close like you wouldn't believe It's a risk that's all I'm telling you You decide whether you're comfortable With this risk or not if you can figure Out a way to make more money to send Your kids to A Better Private School I Highly recommend you start doing some Research anyways if you got value from The video give it a thumbs up and Subscribe to the channel I got another
