"So you're totally against vouchers?"

I wax and wane on them ... I get sick and tired of paying property taxes in NJ, the HIGHEST in the nation when we don't use the public school system. To give you an idea of what we pay ... it's well over 25K a year.

Then you realize that you are already subsidizing the NJ kids educations. So I'm a little baffled at the high level of disdain you seem to be laying out.

At $25 grand a year in property taxes you must be doing (or have done) pretty well. So your property taxes go up a little. Surely you can afford it. After all, she should be able to come up with the $9 grand easily enough. Right?

I don't know for sure but I would bet that the Pro Bono attorney, the lack of scholarships, grants, etc. are part of a plan to push Vouchers. And what better way to show the damaged system for what it is. Find a gifted kid with no prospects, miserably failed by the system, doomed to a mediocre life unless we change the system. Thus the lawsuit. Didn't they make a movie about this with Jody Foster a number of years ago?
