[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reasons why this is bad policy:
1. Mainly helps the wealthy who can already afford private schools.  
2. Will just cause private schools to raise their fees.  Meaning poor aren’t really helped by the subsidy.
3.  Draws away money from public schools which have to meet a wide variety of needs.
4. Small school districts are against it since their schools are often the many center of community.  Drawing away funds and students makes things harder for those communities.

1. Wealthy people are entitled to public services too, that’s why they are public and not low income programs.

2. The private schools are non profit so if they raise their prices the money is still spent on education, not a bad thing.

3. The money is meant for educating students not to fund public schools. It’s fine if the money follows the student.

4. In many of these communities churches are the center of the community, but we don’t fund them, do we?[/quote]

It’s an open question whether voucher schools will spend the money on education. I mean some will, I’m sure, but you’re proposing to give away free government money with no oversight, so inevitably it will attract a lot of knaves and scoundrels. [/quote]
