I have an aunt and uncle who own a private school. They do NOT like the idea of vouchers because they are afraid of strings attached to the money (feds forcing do this and do that), as well as the fact that they then won't be able to pick and choose their students.

I, however, do not believe I should have to pay one dime for anyone else's kid to be educated. I homeschool, so not only do I not have a salary so that I can stay home with my kids, I get no tax deductions for all the money I spend on school (other educators can deduct every dime), and I still have to pay into the local school districts.

If vouchers happen, then it should be for homeschoolers too.

I would love if we could use vouchers for curriculum, at least. Give us an approved list and let us take it off tax. We used Switched on Schoolhouse for years. We could only afford the main package but would have loved to get electives as well.
