If there isn’t a natural monopoly effect. Look at utilities or Healthcare. Things largely dictated by location (and/or job) can’t support multiple offerings.
How are parents who can’t drive their kids to school everyday going to take advantage of these choices? Vouchers/private schools will create a two tiered system.
The only way I see them working is they are limited and possibly income based.
Meaning if the voucher is worth 10k. You can only spend 10k. You can pay more. That’ll encourage schools to keep their prices down. If someone wants to send their kids to an 11k school they have to pay the whole 11k.
I don’t know the right dollar amount but there should be a cap. Right parents are often sending their kids to private schools anyway. The goal of vouchers is to push bottom scoring schools to do better or another way is you only get vouchers if you school is scoring in a certain category.
The school I attended was one of the top in the nation. My family was poor but hypothetically we shouldn’t be offered vouchers due to the quality of education provided.
I see inner cities getting the most benefit but rural America will still struggle. That’s a tough nut to crack since the population density is low.
Ohio is spending more per pupil in 2024, they are above $14,000 but I’m having trouble finding the report. The trend is still the same it’s significantly more to educate a kid in public school.
What is insane is the left says we should be more like Sweden. When you agree and say we should do vouchers, they melt down.
We spend way too much money on education with poor results. Too much ideology in public schools and not enough education.
Back when my kid was in high school; they kept going on about sex , gender and how republicans are bad. The school academics were horrible.
We pulled her out and put her in a private school. Her standardized testing scores sky rocketed up. Best thing we ever did.
My kids spend more time with me then at school and they have a solid foundation and an ability to think critically, I’m not afraid of any scary knowledge they might learn from school, friends, the internet or any other source that I wouldn’t be able to control the rest of their lives and wouldn’t want to anyways.
They don’t teach that Republicans are bad. They figure that out for themselves using critical thinking since they’re not indoctrinated with all that “god” bs in school.
Modern Republicans and Republicans of the era are nothing alike and you know it. Republicans are trying to bring back slavery in the form of prison labor.
They are exactly the same. Democrats still want to divide everyone into racial groups and treat them differently. They’re just upset we took their slaves.
You sent your kids to private school so that they can “learn” that earth is 6000 years old, and the creation myth. Hindering their chances at any future.
Why do you want to defund public schools instead of improving them?
Providing consumers with choice improves offerings through competition.
If there isn’t a natural monopoly effect. Look at utilities or Healthcare. Things largely dictated by location (and/or job) can’t support multiple offerings.
How are parents who can’t drive their kids to school everyday going to take advantage of these choices? Vouchers/private schools will create a two tiered system.
The cost per pupil for a k-12 education is almost twice as much in public schools vs private. Twice the money and half the results.
Why do you want to waste money on a failing system?
Do you have a source to back up this claim because it’s completely reversed from anything I’ve seen and I’d like to understand it better.
Ohio cost per pupil in 2020 $13,027

Average Ohio private school cost $7,929 2024.

I thought you said average prices, not one state four years ago.
Edit to add: 2020 doesn’t compare to 2024 prices. This is an apples and oranges comparison.
Here is 43 states.

Quality source, thank you.
How do you see the vouchers working?
A flat rate per student or based on the tax you contribute?
The only way I see them working is they are limited and possibly income based.

That amusingly enough is also a reason why public schools cost more than private schools.

Who has spoken about Sweden besides you?
My kids spend more time with me then at school and they have a solid foundation and an ability to think critically, I’m not afraid of any scary knowledge they might learn from school, friends, the internet or any other source that I wouldn’t be able to control the rest of their lives and wouldn’t want to anyways.
The left never says we should be more like Sweden?
Who said anything about scary knowledge? It’s the lack of focus on academics.
It’s really hard to have a conversation with you when you skip past anything I say.
I replied to your statement. When you build straw men, don’t get upset when they are knocked down.
You haven’t knocked anything down.
What do you think I didn’t answer ? You made a statement about scary knowledge which had nothing to do with what I said.
They don’t teach that Republicans are bad. They figure that out for themselves using critical thinking since they’re not indoctrinated with all that “god” bs in school.
Not that was an actual class lesson. Packed her ass up and sent her to a private school.
No it wasn’t. Just because you took offense to historical accuracy, doesn’t mean that there was some specific lesson plan to say Republicans are bad.
Are you still fuming that we took your slaves away and that’s makes us bad people?
Modern Republicans and Republicans of the era are nothing alike and you know it. Republicans are trying to bring back slavery in the form of prison labor.
They are exactly the same. Democrats still want to divide everyone into racial groups and treat them differently. They’re just upset we took their slaves.
Prison labor has always been allowed.
Public school have become indoctrination centers for anti-American ideology. They focus less on education and more of incorrect ideology.
Parents need a choice to get schools to focus more on education and not on unpopular ideology.
What stops many people from sending their kids to a private school is lack of money. Vouchers will fix that problem.
That’s why I sent my kid to private school.
You sent your kids to private school so that they can “learn” that earth is 6000 years old, and the creation myth. Hindering their chances at any future.
No I didn’t and that’s weird to think.
You skipped right past my question instead of answering it.
I clearly explained why and how to fix them.
I asked you why you want to defund them and not improve them.
Is your answer because you don’t agree with them and don’t like them, so you want to cancel them?
I clearly explained that. Which part of competing with other schools for student would force them improve confused you ?
