"Parents could get $4,000 per year to put toward private-school tuition or a public school outside their local district. They could also seek up to $3,000 per year for extra tutoring."
Supporters say poor parents deserve choices, like rich families have. When schools don't work, said Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, "parents must have other opportunities."
We make 74k a year, homeschool 3 kids, pay appx. 3k per year for materials for all 3 kids, and yet somehow I feel like I've been discriminated against.
Do you think we'll qualify as "poor parents"?
We are lower middle class--I'm sure we wouldn't qualify. So the people in the middle get left out? How is this equal treatment?
I hope that the vouchers will apply to Home Schooling.
No, but my daughter and her 3 kids will. I hope this passes so my grandkids don't have to go to public schools.
