Ideally I'l like to see ALL public schools abolished and appropriate tax relief available to all and have the parents of kids in school chose what school they wanted for their children - private, religious - whatever.

You mention tax relief. What about the families who pay *no* taxes and who can't afford private education? Should their private education be subsidized by the state? IOW, who should pay for the education of the poor?

Those that don't pay taxes ... can't they make allowances for sending their kids to school? Why can't those that NEED the money for private school HAVE IT? SHOULD we all be FORCED to send our children to PUBLIC school for the sake of those who can't manage their money?

WHY not let education be competitve? For those that want vouchers let them have the 12K they ALREADY pay in TAXES. For those that "don't pay taxes" let them send their kids to public school if they can't manage their money? Atleast those that don't want public school AND PAY TAXES aren't coerced into sending their kids there.

WHY keep a failed systemm in place? Dreaming up exceptional circumsances will not change the fact that our scores in the US when compared to the WORLD are in tht toilet.
