[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a great idea. I have to send my kids to private school because the public school we have to go to is horrible. So I get absolutely NOTHING for my tax dollar. If they pick up my kids then at least I'll get something out of the deal!!! [/quote]

You could make your public school work.  You just need a good teacher, especially in the early years.  You can be at the worst school with the best teacher or the best school with the worst teacher.  I'd choose the best teacher any day.  You choose to live where you are living and choose not to use the school.  You do not HAVE to send your child to private, you choose to, just like we choose to send our child to private.  The public schools have taken away bus transportation in many areas this year.  Those people should have the right to have it restored.  We lost bus transportation this year to our public so those parents are now driving so this makes no sense to me to subsidize the private schools when you are taking benefits away from the public schools.[/quote]

I disagree.  I went private because our school is bad.  It doesn't matter if you have one good teacher.  We took the chance and after 3yrs we had 2 okay teachers and one bad teacher.  Add 25+ kids in a class each year and it was not working. Lots of bullying, goofing off, poor community involvement.  My child is now in 8th and has half the kids in her class than my K in public has. And everyone of those kids works hard and wants to be there and it is infectious.  It isn't cool to be stupid or the class clown. It is empowering to be smart and driven.  So for some people private is the way to go, either with paying or financial aid.  [/quote]
