[quote=Anonymous]1. no
2. yes
3. b/c there is money to be made in private schools and repubs like businesses that make money.
4. on a large scale, yes... but if just a few homeschool, then no.

Democrats don't like vouchers b/c they take money out of public schools and they do not have accountability for results.  Some of it has to do with teachers union and keeping power with the unions (which support dems), but more of it has to do with being able to take public tax dollars and let parents use it for religious schools (which tend to support repubs).  Also, those who are left in the public schools (the ones who the charters and privates rejected) tend to be the bottom of the barrel.  Publics need the middle and top kids.  Publics know that the cream of the crop will be skimmed off and they will be left with even fewer dollars to educate the hardest cases.  Death spiral.  More segregation.  More tax money going to religious schools that don't have to teach the special needs kids or poor or poor behavior kids.

Follow the money -- it won't necessarily benefit the kids. [/quote]
