No more handouts! Amounts to vote buyuing. Kills incentive to better oneself. Get the Socialist gubmint the h— out of education!
I am afraid of Vouchers. What keeps voucher receivers from becoming just another public school? Do they have to run under the Bush-Kennedy No Child left Behind law? Can I open my own Brother-in-law school , hiring illegals for teachers. Absurd, you say, of course it is. If they have to run under the same rules, what’s different? Of course I am just panting to get more federal money (SPELLED CONTROL) in our local schools. Our local school district is 3.5 M down, how are vouchers going to remedy that? By bringing more dough from Washington? They have cut staff, but no teachers. No, dont cry UNIONS!!! Teachers in TX dont work under union contracts, and the unions can assure the members that the administration remain honest and abide by the current laws.
Not surprising. The NEA is all about what’s best for teacher job security. The group doesn’t really care about the education of the children, their protestations notwithstanding. I wish parents who blindly supported the teachers’ union understood this.
You'd think the teachers would support this overwhelmingly. For the first time in decades the children would come first. Aren't the children the real issue here?
Don't be. Most parents want the best for their children. If a school isn't what the parents want, they can use another. The vouchers force schools to compete for the parents hearts. Most Americans are conservative, and those schools that teach reading, writing, arithmetic, and moral values will come out on top in the end. The competition will bring out the best.
Be aware, the union calls any bill they don’t like VOUCHERS.
This is NOT vouchers....this is a tax credit bill...they hate it equally because it might reduce their power and influence but it is NOT vouchers.
so you’d be in favor of tuition tax credits instead, right?
