yes, the department of education...why would they lie to protect teachers unions....you are a fool.....
The point was, they could back up their claims with statistics.
you know, those things you Wingnuts hate. Measurable results.
Vouchers don't do much for students
In Milwaukee, just 13 percent of voucher students scored proficient in math and 11 percent made the bar in reading this spring. That’s worse on both counts than students in the city’s public schools. In Cleveland, voucher students in most grades performed worse than their peers in public schools in math, though they did better in reading.
In New Orleans, voucher students who struggle academically haven’t advanced to grade-level work any faster over the past two years than students in the public schools, many of which are rated D or F, state data show.
Here's the problem with Vouchers. I call it the "Army Hat" problem. (When someone decided to give every soldier a Beret because elite units that wear berets have higher morale)
Of course, kids in private schools do better when their PARENTS are paying the tuition. That's becaue in those cases, the parents have the time, resources and inclination to be involved. You aren't going to spend $6000 a year to send your kid to Saint Martin's and not make sure the kid does his homework.
But if you give a parent who is working two jobs a voucher to send a kid to a St. Martin's, you aren't going to get any better results. St. Martins can fudge the numbers by taking only the kids they find promising (and this is exactly what a lot of them do) but mostly, kids with vouchers don't do any better.
Sorry....you are wrong...as you are in everything else.....not my subject so someone else is going to have to deal with your lies and false claims...and your government agencies that screw things up and cover their tracks.....
