Voucher money can go directly to kids already in private schools - just like it did in Indiana.

We don't hate public schools here.  We're mad right now.  But we don't hate public schools and we don't want to destroy them.  We don't want vouchers.  [/quote]

That’s unfortunate since Glenn Youngkin specifically campaigned on school vouchers.[/quote]

DP and I sure as hell want vouchers. [b]I don’t think they destroy schools[/b] and I do think school choice is at least a step in the right direction. I’m a former IB public school teacher and I’d never want my kids going where I used to teach.[/quote]

Of course they destroy schools.  That's the point.  [/quote]

Well they do destroy the school that parents are desperate to get out of, but, good.

If you’ve never sent your kids to or worked in that kind of school, you don’t get it. You are living in your GS10 bubble. But I’ve seen some shit and I would do anything to give those kids a lifeboat out of there. [/quote]

You think those kids will secure a spot at a private? Most won’t and the schools will continue to decline.  
[/quote]

I think anything—ANYTHING—is better than where they are now. A charter that fails halfway through the school year. A 90 minute commute across town to a rich kid school. A parochial school. Anything.

You “liberals” are offering nothing but more money for the same failing staff. No thank you. I want to save the kid, not the school. [/quote]

+100[/quote]

So you’re good as long as you can secure a spot in private for your kid? Or maybe you already have one.

What about all of those other kids left at that school? You really DGAF about them?

[/quote]

Man don’t you get it. Right now they’re all left at that school. I’d rather save 10 kids than 0 kids. [/quote]

I don’t think YOU get it. You would be saving 10 kids while making things worse for 100. [/quote]
