[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I make 250k combined so we wouldn't get vouchers...but I don't understand the logic for opposing them. I think they'd make the system better.  If a private can charge 10k and get a better result than a public that charges the taxpayer 20k.. why not?

Forget for a minute kids with serious disabilities. If the child's only issue is a behavioral one...they need consequences..Though public schools are a "right" hundreds of years ago they were still considered a privilege..people had to farm etc... and students could be expelled.[/quote]

Because this program is already existence, and 78% of the subsidies have been going to people who already have their kids in private school.  Why is that a good thing to subsidize the choices parents would be making with or without government intervention?[/quote]

Where does this 78 percent number come from? Neither you nor I know. I have a feeling if people had real choices they would be leaving the public schools in mass.
