[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't go along with vouchers.. Upper middle class people are going to move out of your district to places that do.  You cannot avoid competition and responsible people are going to immediately do what is good for their children.  The public schools are going to be repositories for completely irresponsible and dysfunctional families.[/quote]

Actually, it's the reverse. Places that have gone in for vouchers for private schools are places with public school systems that middle-class people already moved out of. Places where middle-class parents have a stake in the public school system don't have vouchers for private schools.[/quote]

[b]That makes sense but the dynamic is different now. [/b] The vouchers will be there for everybody and everybody wants the choice of leaving if it suits your child for a whole ton of reasons.[/quote]

What do you mean, the dynamic is different now? Now is what we're talking about.

And sure, everybody would love the option of sending their child to private school at public expense. Who doesn't like to get something for nothing? The question is, is that a good use of public dollars? And the answer is, no.[/quote]
