Just how stupid do you have to be to not see that?
Just how stupid do you have to be to not realize that IF new schools are added, there is NO GUARANTEE that the same effects will be observed.

And as the studies I pointed to demonstrate, there is no guarantee of ANY improvement for kids who go from public school to voucher schools for the EXISTING kids who do it.

You're so desparate to gut the existing system you haven't even bothered to figure out if you're working towards something better...

HOW MANY???

I'm not denying that something should be done.
I'm saying that your solution IS NOT the cure you claim it is...
They can also go to a public school with vouchers. Why didn't you mention that?

So now all of a sudden you want a guarantee. Why didn't you want one before the vouchers? As usual, you keep moving to goal post when it comes to attempting to prove your point.

Because it is your position that they will go for the better schools, which you label as "private" schools, and thus YOUR OWN STANCE has inconsistencies.

Do you understand how debate works?

Any more, I just roll my eyes when it happens. Trying to keep those two on topic would be like trying to herd cats...

I never said that. You just did. I said they will be able to go to better schools. You're being dishonest again foundit and were just foundout. Be honest in your debate. That is how debate works.

Good public schools are better than bad public schools. Private schools are better than bad public schools. Now wipe your ass, you have crap running down your legs.

Private schools provide education for what percentage of students?

How about a standard for schools regardless of location. Problem solved.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
