I don’t know about private school vouchers. For example, a students sits in a private school, his parents are working hard to get the $500 dollars a month to pay for it, and all of a sudden a student waltzes in, $500 dollars a month paid by the taxpayer. How, exactly, does that make sense?

There are a whole lot of private schools all over Texas. One of the reasons they continue to flourish and students excel is because they are private and keep all kinds of government funding and government intervention OUT! Wish people would remember that he who pays the money makes the rules.

I am so opposed to vouchers for private schools. My children , all 4 of them, went to private schools and I had to do without a lot to be able to afford to send them there. My oldest son and daughter attended a prep school that had a very competitive basketball team. The coach decided it would be a good idea to give scholarships to inner city boys to increase the ratio of black to white in the school from 0% to 10% and maybe add some players to the basketball team. The scholarship students disrupted classes, didn’t conform to the dress code, and never received a passing grade. I was paying all this money to get away from this type of behavior. I pulled my children out and put them in the Catholic school an hours drive away.

The prep school founded in the 1930’s closed 3 years later.
