I was wondering about a few things here:

1)What happens to kids with autism and learning disabilities? Since these are essentially private schools, then no accommodations have to be made as far as a friendly learning environment. And since these are profit driven schools that are going to use test scores as a big measure of their success, there are no incentives to include children with disabilities in their schools. So what happens to these children then?

2)What happens if you can’t afford any tuition? Those vouchers don’t pay the whole tab, and some of these schools are more expensive than college. The one down the road from us costs 12-16K a year. A voucher covers not quite 9K. Does this mean your kid simply can’t go to school or you have no option but to homeschool?

3) Charter schools don’t have a record of doing any better than public schools. What I don’t get is that if the public schools are lacking, why can’t the money that would be given to those charters be invested in the public schools?

4)When in the hell are people going to understand that privatization means that there’s no longer accountability in any form to the taxpayers, only to the private company CEOs and shareholders?
