re: #111 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Oh, you can be sure there will be a list of schools where these vouchers will not be good for. I mean, can’t have tax dollars going to a madrassa, after all.

I don’t think so. Any school recognized by the state will be good, and recognition varies by state I believe. Of course that doesn’t mean the voucher will be enough to cover all school costs. They don’t have to accept them, so if the parent can’t afford the difference, which is unlikely, they won’t be able to pick any school they want. What will happen is that people will set up schools that are designed for these vouchers, with low overheads, and maximized profit (or maximized indoctrination).

Bottom line, give up on public schools and spend some of the money on schools that don’t need annoying oversight and meddling teacher unions.
