ONLY if the education the offer is so poor that nobody wants their kids there. So... in some public schools there will be less money, in others there will be more - just as it SHOULD be. SOME PUBLIC SCHOOLS NEED TO BE CLOSED.


yadda, yadda, yadda...
Your "I hate liberals" spew deserves only the comment that it doesn't deserve a comment.



Fix the public schools we have instead of gutting them.
This will go further toward fixing the public schools than anything. It's do or die. Honest competition. And the winners? THE CHILDREN - ESPECIALLY THE POOR CHILDREN!


There is NO MONOPOLY.
Parents can send their kids anywhere they want / can afford.
Does Nissan have a "monopoly" over BMW because Nissan makes cheaper cars than BMW?
Poor parents CANNOT AFFORD TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO PRIVATE SCHOOL. Can you get that through your thick skull? A family with a $25,000 per year income CANNOT AFFORD the $500 per month, per student, private school tuition. There absolutely IS a public education monopoly, because lower class parents are FORCED to send their kids to rat-infested, run-down, non-educating public schools - schools where there is NO education taking place. School vouchers will erase the financial barrier - which is something you SHOULD be all for - being the compassionate liberal you are!


They need to be fixed. Not gutted.
It's not "protection". It's making the system that the tax payers are paying for WORK instead of outsourcing it for God knows what type of cost.
School vouchers will fix the public schools that can be fixed, and will close the public schools that are beyond the point of being salvageable. AS IT SHOULD BE.

How come nobody has explained what the change in cost will be for all these school vouchers...
Are you trying to tell me that the private schools are going to be run at the same cost as the public schools?
It's called a "level playing field". Do you understand that? Obiously not. The private schools will need to compete just like the public schools will.
Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?

Do I need to google some private school tuition amounts to prove that a lark?
Go ahead. Be my guest. But the cost of private schools IS NOT THE POINT. The point is that the education vouchers follow the students to whatever school they attend.
