Ellie Doyle, a 33-year-old mother from Florida, gained viral attention for her TikTok video explaining her family's move to Connecticut driven by dissatisfaction with the public school system in Florida. She expressed concerns over reduced quality of education, including the elimination of gifted programs and poor teacher salaries. Ellie believes switching to Connecticut's public schools will save her family at least $30,000 a year. Her comments reflect broader conversations about political factors affecting education, including budget constraints and the influence of private school vouchers in Florida.
We will be saving at minimum $30,000 a year for putting our kids through the Connecticut public school system. It's a huge relief compared to Florida's education costs.
When my sister first moved here, and her boys were in the program, they were down to one day a week... then they just fizzled out the program completely.
Now, gifted programs are essentially gone in my county. The public school system has changed drastically, and it's not what it used to be.
Teacher salaries are horrible in Florida, so the turnover rate is really high, impacting the overall quality of education.
