No because once vouchers are introduced to private schools, the feds will be able to enforce this kind of thing there too. No vouchers.

well i was under the assumption that the entire purpose of vouchers were to get away from the feds. They'd get paid back 10 fold in 20+ years when they start producing higher skilled workers

Thanks for pointing this out. I'd much rather see tax credits for parents who homeschool or send their children to private school. That way the parents decide how to spend THEIR money on their child's education, and gov.org is left out of the process.

The behavior from the management group...is strictly Puritan in nature...what you'd see in the 1600's. The entire community was forced to accept what the "elders" felt was the true direction of the community. If the members of the community didn't agree...they basically had to pack up and move out of the region in a hurry. Most ended up in Rhode Island. The Puritans considered Rhode Island to be the pure haven of sinful treaders. Nothing much has changed in 400 years.

Are you sure about that? Can you point me to detailed information on this?

I was under the understanding that vouchers prevented the tax dollars from being "pooled into the collective," which enables the government to set curriculum. I thought vouchers meant the money was still private (still considered income) and could be spent privately without governmental regulation.

I agree. If there are public funds in private schools, they will no longer be private schools. And I have fears about what an influx of students would do to these schools as well.

The public schools are indeed a problem, but we need a better solution.

You are correct. Better then vouchers, return all tax money to everyone that was previously spent on education and if you have kids, pay for it out of that. Privitize the whole thing.

Areas of the country where people cant control their children will soon not be able to find schools for their unruley monsters. We can then close the border because we will have cheap labor again. There will develop a disipline renassance among parents as they discover that training their kids is their responsibility, not every one elses. Those who dont figure that out, will reap what they sow.

And best of all, the free market ecomemny will produce better schools and more options. You can send your kid to Rainbow Brite elementry or He-Man high, its your choice, just like at Walmart, store brand or name brand....
