That's not going to happen. NBame one political leader who has pushed vouchers. They know that most voters live in neighborhood where the schools are good enough for them. They know that they schools ar e not as good as private schools, but then the kids go on to do well enough in college, and meanwhile mom and pop don't have to pay those high tuition rates.

You miss a significant point. There is no high tuition rate, at least not another one, when a parent is allowed to move their child to a private school.

Mom and Pop have already paid. They would simply be moving their child and their dollars to a school of their choice.

You miss another significant point. It is not the parents that would not want to be able to put their children in the school of their choice. It is the politicians that will not let them.

I really can not stand it when people come on here that are either grossly uninformed or are purposely trying to distort the issus.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It has to do with the education industrial complex. This is similar to what Ike Eisenhower call the "military-industrial-complex".

In my former county the school system employed more people than any other industry. Do you think you would ever see vouchers in that county? Forget it!
