Vouchers

[Unkotare]

It seems some states are in fact expanding voucher programs. Who knows what this portends?

Indiana isnât the only state to expand school vouchers

Multiple Republican-led states have added private school choice programs this year that are open to nearly everyone. It’s a move advocates hail as giving parents more options to pick the best school for their child, while critics worry about the cost and impact on students.

If a public school is failing, it should be destroyed.

Everybody knows what it portends. Take money from already underfunded schools, and give it to private schools. What do you think will happen?

ORLY?....Hand $5.06 for an item that costs $4.81 to a millennial cashier at any given store, and watch the smoke blow out their ears.

For the most part, today's "educated" kids are dumber than ever.

You say "to destroy public schools" as if this hasn't already happened, first of all. Second, please go into detail as to how public schools are being destroyed.

Competition generally makes everyone/thing involved better and stronger. However, there is no getting around the reality that the underprivileged now will remain that way.

In part because the poor won't magically become unpoor by putting them in another school. If a student has insufficient support at home, it won't matter where he goes to school. If he eats a shit diet, lives in a dangerous place, or is routinely traumatized in some way, that won't go away if he goes to the best school in the world.

Private schools generally charge more than the amount given in a voucher. Often much more. Poor people can't afford to pay the difference. It comes down to taxpayers susidizing private school for those that can probably afford it anyway, while the poor can't afford to take advantage of it.
