[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The site dubbed the areas with the worst school systems as Nevada, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and, lastly, the District of Columbia.

CHEERS!

Nevada, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi are neither an LEA nor a "school system."[/quote]

Looks like Nevada got smart and will give EVERYONE a voucher to attend a private/parochial if they choose.  So if the system is bad, at least your tax dollars can be useful to find a proper alternative.[/quote]

AKA the "Tax break for Rich families". $5300 is not going to buy a family very much education, but I'm sure some madrassas will pop up that will be happy to take the cash.[/quote]

I think DC spends at least $10k per pupil and much more in poorer areas.  So that would be the stipend.  It would work.  No idea where you got $5300 from.[/quote]

OK, so where do I get the $30K balance for private school in DC? And will there be spots in the coveted schools for all 86,000 students?  Oh, you mean new schools, because building space for school is so easy to find in the district. Not.[/quote]
