"Solution:
"Private foundations giving private vouchers to attend private schools."
That is such a simple & brilliant idea and I would certainly donate & support an organization that did something like that. One of the biggest problems with school vouchers is that we have been trying to get the government to pay for them. When I really think about the inherent logical flaw in that idea, it's so obvious, since it's government that always seems to mess things up with good intentions whenever it strays beyond it's legitimate functions.
If Obama & Hillary can raise almost $500 million, why can't we raise an even larger amount for something like this? In my mind, trying to get the government to pay for school vouchers is like using a credit card just to get the free "rewards".
To be truly effective, it would be best to focus on only one offending school district at a time. Probably a small one to start. Maximum effort focused on a single point. Start with one small victory, then another, then another.
Exactly!
The founder of Wall Mart ( Walton) started a scholarship fund for vouchers. In my opinion though he spread his money too thinly. It would be better to focus on one small district at a time.
Hmm?... Maybe two districts: One poor and the other rich.
It would be interesting to see how privatizing the education of both groups would lead to improved achievement in both the rich and the poor students.
However....I would only support a **conservative** voucher foundation that would uphold classical liberalism and the Judeo Christian principles upon which this nation was founded. I would also like to see the conservative schools educate the parents as well in conservative principles. They could do this though parent conferences.
That should read: “Through” parent conferences.
