[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has there ever been any real discussion of vouchers in Virginia? Or even charter schools? Or magnet schools? I came from a state that had so many choices- IB (which I do see here in Virginia), arts magnets, math magnets, language immersion. [/quote] All of these things promote widening the gap between the haves and the have-nots. More money and focus goes on getting the most out of the privileged schools for the better students and the students from wealthier families. The lower/main schools get less funding, fewer perks and benefits and the average and below average children, plus the lower income children get left behind with weaker schools, lowering graduation rates, and lower achievement rates. Having a few select schools like the current scenario provides opportunities for those truly gifted children, but still protects the interests of the majority of students. [/quote]
