[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^  It does. I want a safe environment.  We don't have that, and that's a big problem.  DCPS isn't going to make it safe, so time to divest and get vouchers to get something out of our tax money. Otherwise it's move to the'burbs, like what most of my neighborhood has done.  Hopefully a DeVos program can re-invigorate our nations cities, because public schools are destroying them.[/quote]

What you want is a voucher to get [b]your[/b] child away from the other kids in your school that you don't like. Those other kids will still be in school in the city, so there will still be some place with failing scores and rough kids. It won't change who lives in the city or invigorate our nation's cities because, as you well know, it is not the "public schools" destroying anything.

So all a voucher does is get [b]you[/b] off the hook for paying more to live elsewehre or pay for private school. You want a handout to get what other taxpayers are working to provide their kids. You want your kid in a better school, but you want to leave those "other" kids behind, and you are happy to take money out of the schools those other kids will be stuck in as long as you get yours. That is fine. But own that is it all about [b]you[/b], and that the cities will still have a lot of kids left behind in bad situations with even less money to address the situation.[/quote]
