[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the voucher system say the private school HAVE TO accept disabled and differently abled students? Thought so. [/quote] While you might be right, I think you’re missing the broader point that parents are going to look out for their own kids first. Only after that will you get altruism. Look no further than the boundary change proponent who argued first for her kid not to be moved.[/quote] This comment illustrates exactly why vouchers should not exist. Because it only benefits children who have parents who are in a position - financially or logistically - to opt out of the public school system and into a private system. And all of those children who do not have parents of privilege who can facilitate this are left in a deteriorating public school system with fewer resources and less opportunity. People who are not altruistic until their kids are taken care of will never become altruistic.[/quote]
