[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not buying the tuition inflation argument. There are charter schools that make do with less money than private schools. My child is in one. The public district hates it and they always try to make their life harder.[/quote] Charters have to make do with the budget they get from the state because they aren’t allowed to charge tuition. Private schools aren’t so limited. Since demand for private school seats exceeds supply, they can raise the price and choose only those students who can pay the new higher price. If you made it so voucher schools had to admit by lottery and could not charge tuition beyond the value of the voucher, then they’d be more like charter schools. But no existing private school would sign up for that arrangement. [/quote]
