Difficult to escape

The system is designed to be difficult to escape, as it affects all public schools in the U.S. Previously, if families disliked a school’s policies, they could always ‘vote with their feet’ by moving. That will no longer be an escape.

The only escape is home-schooling or private schooling, and those involve real hardship and financial penalty. Those routes penalize the student in additional ways too, as the new system will affect access to jobs and higher-education in what its proponents call “a seamless web” of governmental control. The new system is virtually inescapable, and about as desirable as a straightjacket.
