An integral part of the Nat C’s plan to turn the US into a theocratic dictatorship. By gutting public education and sending kids to right wing indoctrination centers where they are fed that bogus beliefs are not to be questioned, we end up with mental zombies. The worst of this is already happening in Florida and soon in Texas.
The vouchers can be used at any school. Not just parochial.
So instead of giving children a better chance we keep them in abysmally pathetic schools in so many places, while the teachers and administrators in those schools send their kids to private school.
Vouchers undermine public schools by taking away supporting taxes. Our public school system needs nothing but support. An excellent and diverse education for our kids exponentially beats the narrow and often exclusive treatment kids get in voucher schools.
Funny I have shut up several because I pay taxes that support public schools, not some private institution where kids don’t socialize with those other people in their home towns where they are growing up and many will live there. What was the court ruling in 1954, it stands today separate is not equal. Don’t steal my tax money because you want to send your kid to a special school
The parents need to be truly involved to get maximum benefit from schools. Yeah, my parents were teachers. Mine were very helpful. Mom typed and edited my papers. Dad kept me free from distractions and took me to libraries. We even had dad-daughter forays to bookstores and libraries. He’s also the one who got me hooked on SF&F.
The only thing the GOP ever wanted was to be able to deduct private school tuition from their tax returns. If they had been given this in the 1990s this historic assault on our public school system would not be occurring. Vouchers drain money from already underfunded public schools, period. Prove that statement wrong. And, what is being taught in these private schools and with home schooling? Apparently no much real history or science, not much on supply and demand, a lot of talk about humans riding dinosaurs in Biblical days.
And then you have Arizona’s “voucher” system. Under this system, parents are being given $7,500 “vouchers” for things that are only by a big stretch of one’s imagination educational. Parents have been known to use them for ski trips, pianos, bounce houses, karate lessons and the list goes on. Not too surprisingly, the budget for these “vouchers” has been busted.
So Mr. Anderson, are you saying the parochial schools are so much better than public schools, the parents are going to beat a path to their doors? I wouldn’t disagree with you, they are that much better.

Education is only as good as the teacher or the pupil, even the stupidest person in America can be president.

If the state schools could do a better job than the private schools, we would not have this problem.
