[quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to learn and understand more about school choice.  I'm a democrat that thinks it makes sense, but it seems only republicans including trump are in favor of school choice.  But obviously there have been choices in DC for a while, I suppose due to the poor quality of DCPS schools historically.  I feel we are all responsible for educating all children, I'm not trying to shirk my duty, but don't see why families must be stuck with just the local public school.  I'm wondering....
1. Will Fairfax county ever have charters or vouchers?  If so, how would that happen?
2.  Wouldn't choices eliminate some of the overcrowding and other issues that FCPS is facing?
3.  Why do republicans support choice for schools and democrats do not?
4. The money that I pay in taxes...where does that go if I choose to homeschool or go private?  I assume fcps gets less money if it educates less students, so it just stays with the county?

Putting this in the general schools forum rather than Va public schools as I'm interested in comments about school choice in general, not just in fcps although that is where I live.  [/quote]
