[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see no reason we shouldn’t give these programs a try in this area.

Why not?[/quote]

+1.

These programs are entirely voluntary; no one is forced to use a voucher if they don’t want to.

Shouldn’t parents be offered a choice?[/quote]

Of course parents should.  It’s the absolute worst when parents who send their kids to private school oppose vouchers.  The public schools aren’t good enough for their kids, but are good enough for the poors!  Gross.

Our kids’ school in Indiana has a high percentage of voucher students and is absolutely phenomenal.  The public’s are horrible.[/quote]

So what problems are the vouchers solving?  They are not improving the public schools.  You don't care about those kids - but you should.  When they grow up, they will be your kids' peers.[/quote]

They allow my tax funds to be used on the school of my choice that is educating my children.  And our school’s tuition is pegged to the voucher program…it costs the same to attend as the voucher so anyone can attend for “free” if they wish.  Many of the students are on vouchers.

I do care about those kids and want them to have options.  One entire local Catholic school is Spanish speaking only because we have so many children of immigrants who are also Catholic.  It’s great for those families and also ensures they aren’t lost in the bad public schools.  Many of our school’s tuition families are blue collar.

Most privates here are around 8-10k a year.  The objections in this thread are mostly applicable to your “progressive” east coast privates, not us red state families.[/quote]

Suppose the Supreme Court authorizes Catholic (and Muslim, and Scientologist) charter schools, at it seems likely to do. Would you prefer a system of voucher-based religious schools or a system of religious charter schools? And why?[/quote]
