[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^  Gimme a voucher for that![/quote]

Sure, you can have a voucher for $17k.  Where exactly are you going to send your child to school with that in DC?  What is the guaranteed nirvana you dream of? [/quote]

Not PP but Gonzaga is $21k and STC is $18.5k. Would love to have a $17k voucher towards my DS going there. [/quote]

Right, this assumes that your DS is magically going to get into Gonzaga or STC.  There are simply not enough spots in high quality privates for all the middle class DCUMers who would get $17k vouchers (even in this imaginary world where vouchers go to the middle class and approach the cost of per-pupil expenditure).  [/quote]

Already magically got into both. Speak for yourself. [/quote]

Right, and how would they have fared if there were 1000s more applicants for those spots due to vouchers?

Anyway, this is moot for most of us here because vouchers go to lower income families, and they are not likely to approach anywhere near the price of private school tuition. [/quote]
