[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^  Ah.....  I want a safe school that challenges my kid academically.  Why is that selfish?  I thought that should be a given.  Why is it so taboo to provide for safe schools???????[/quote]

It is not selfish to want that for your child. That is why I said it is fine for you to want that (which I was careful to make clear, by the way, because I knew you would try to demonize and deflect from the argument).

But since you know the vouchers will not and are not intended to create safe schools in the city, and vouchers will not make the kids you don't like disappear, and that vouchers will take funds away from the school where those kids are, then you need to acknowledge that your attempt to claim that you want vouchers to make city schools safer and more academically challenging is bull pucky. You want a voucher to make private school more affordable for [b]you[/b], and you hope your child's current classmates won't get accepted to that school. Once you are out, you don't care a bit about how much worse off the schools you leave behind will become due to cut funding. You won't care that vouchers will bleed them of funding, making them less safe and less academically challenging for other kids because you won't be there.[/quote]
