Working-class parents often express interest in vouchers. But in Arizona, the nation’s school choice capital, these families aren’t using them due to the inaccessibility of private schools and the costs of transportation, meals and uniforms.
There are other options as well. That is the core point of choice.
Edit: If your kids are going to a sub-par school, or one where the teachers aren’t working well with them, you can send them somewhere they will get a better education. It’s awful how bad some public schools are and allowing parents the choice to send them to schools where they will learn better is amazing.
From first hand experience with family members, the kids were getting bullied so hard they were afraid to go to school. Often coming back with physical wounds. The teachers did nothing, the administrators did nothing. We were able to get them out of that environment and to somewhere they are learning much better.
Maybe we shouldn’t let parents choose to send their kids to institutions that teach them lies like the Earth is 6000 years old, evolution is a hoax and that America is a Christian country.
In fact, maybe that should be considered abusive considering the long-term repercussions.
It’s not a dichotomy because I wasn’t contrasting anything, and it’s legal to send your kids to schools that teach them lies like that. It shouldn’t be.

Or you know, the default education system that doesn’t include the cultist factory as an option because… Well it’s a cultist factory.
Yep. And that is a cool thing about choice. You can choose that as well.

Absolutely
You’ve created a dichotomy in your head, where none actually exists.
