[quote=Anonymous]I live in a state with vouchers (Florida). What happened here is that the expensive privates refused to accept the vouchers and kept their prices the same. However, there were a lot of small privates that popped up that run on just the voucher or a little more. The schools focus on different families and different kids (eg teaching Latin or keeping the kids outdoors almost all the time). And there are other schools that blend homeschooling and private (like a small school but for 2 or 3 days a week). They usually stop at high school because it’s too expensive to offer all classes for the small amount of money that the schools run on. So that’s something that people understand and accept. And the parents seem more involved than at a regular school. Honestly it seems to be working pretty well here. I think about a third of the kids in the state overall do something other than public school (private, homeschool or charter).[/quote]
