education woes in this country largely go back to funding. Public pay for private schools stretches those resources(tax dollars) even thinner. And, mostly, without any improved results.

personally, this doesn't bother me. My kids  are fortunate enough to go to school in a small rural district that has insanely high property values for Kentucky. So they get the benefit of small classes and lots of resources. But I can see where other people are concerned about moving their tax dollars to make it cheaper for an upper income family to segregate their kids from the poverty riddled riff raff*.


no idea if "riff raff" is spelled correctly, I went to a public school where they glued the textbooks shut if they disagreed with them.

School choice and voucher programs tend to have positive impacts on students. Even the ones still in the public school.
