This may not be a popular idea among conservatives, but I've said for some time that school vouchers are not a good idea. Eventually the cure will be no better than the disease -- because these vouchers will have so many strings attached to them that we'll end up with private schools that are no better than their public counterparts.

Vouchers will make a big difference in that it will force the schools to compete for student dollars.
It's only a first step but even those children whose parents don't care will eventually benefit.
At last people speaking up for right rather than politics as usual.

But turning to the use of vouchers at this time would "endanger real progress" Who says the teacher unions don't have a sense of humor?

The Dem Party has evolved into merely an obese lump of special interests.... it makes for an inconsistent platform and interests slamming into one another harder by the day.

"The governor . . . is opposed to vouchers because they divert critical education funding to help only a limited number of students" The governor is opposed to strengthening the authority of the adults with the most responsibility for the education of "a limited number of students." He prefers that the authority (control of "critical education funding") remain with the educrats who do not have actual responsibility for the education of any child other than their own. Educrats who, likely as not, exercise their authority over their own children's education by sending them to private school rather than to the public school system.

Gov. James E. McGreevey opposes vouchers. >>>>
So does Schundler and the rest of the NJ pubs, Govt. control is the new excuse.
Many are opting for tuition tax credits but I don't know how that will help the poor since they pay NO taxes or very little in taxes.
