[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you're poorly informed. DC has a school voucher program that is a miserable failure. Most of the students go to schools that are almost entirely voucher-funded and there is no accredation or accountability process for these voucher schools. The state of these schools is extremely bad. Vouchers will not fix the public education challenges in our city or in our country.[/quote]

They go to parochial schools that cost less than $10,000, many of which are Blue Ribbon schools where kids learn a great deal in a safe environment.  What's wrong with that?  PP, you sound like a DCPS troll.[/quote] Really? Can you name some since folks on here will be needing to enroll their kids. [/quote]

Also, you all need to become catholic.[/quote]

BS, my lying friend[/quote]

The market will open up to accommodate the voucher amount.  Waterside Academy is within the range, and no one gets beat up there.  Parochial schools that went out of business will restart.  There will be privates that are reasonably priced,and parochials.  And no, you don't have to be Catholic to be in a parochial school; sometimes the majority aren't and never become Catholic -&gt; check your prejudice.[/quote]

DC already has a voucher program and Catholic schools have closed anyway. You are being sold a lie.[/quote]

Also Catholic schools have been shown to be worse academically than public schools. Let's also not forget how the church allowed children to be abused and then covered it up. http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2013/10/are-private-schools-worth-it/280693/[/quote]
