[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup and divert all the public schools funding to private schools

You must want to cripple a already failing MCPS[/quote]

Versus what?  Should we continue to throw more taxpayer money at this failing system?  No thanks.  Families deserve an alternative.  [/quote]

I’d genuinely like to hear your argument.  Vouchers will be most useful for parents who choose religious schools for their children, and parents who can already afford private schools for their children.  While I am fine with supporting public schools, I am not fine with tax dollars supporting religious schools.  Given that, what’s your argument for reasons why someone like me, with no kids in the school system, should be in favor of having my particular tax dollars used to fund a private school education and/or a religiously based education?

Yes, I realize that “my particular tax dollars” don’t quite work that way.  I’m happy to fund public education, and things that generally enhance the public good. So: why should my tax dollars be used to give well-off families choosing private schools “alternatives “?
