An important question this article ignores, is why private school vouchers are chosen over public schools?

    Who pays for the voucher?

    “A variety” is actually a selection of schools entirely owned and ran by the elite class of billionaires who owns them? Thats what you prefer?

    edit nevermind. I see your point of view in another comment. “public schools are indoctrination camps”

    I might as well have this discussion with a brick wall instead.

      What you are saying is you have no clue how vouchers work. Tax payers pay for the vouchers. If thE average spend is 17k. You get a voucher for 17k. The private school I sent my kid to was 6k a year. That’s a savings of 11k per year and the testing scores were vastly better. The college acceptance rate was 100% with most going in academic scholarships.

        So… the government is paying for a voucher for you to then give to a school?

        Public school with extra steps?

        Give it a go! Worked wonderfully with private healthcare. Good luck!

          The government isn’t paying for anything. They are collecting the tax revenue and issuing vouchers.

          Well unlike public school there would be education actually happening.

            Right. The tax payer funds the voucher scheme. From taxes paid by the population. To the government. Who then issue vouchers. Which pays the private school.

            Do you think the vouchers are free magic money from the sky?

                  And? They get money from taxes. As tax payers we should expect results and vouchers will do that.

            This is a pointless distinction. The government pays for vouchers exactly as much as they pay for public schools.
