Yeah, saw that coming a mile away.
In my opinion vouchers are nothing more than another way to latch onto the government tit.
Look up the stats on charter schools in DC. They are scary. More than 1/2 of all charter schools in DC perform below DC public schools. After 5 years, the charters of low performing schools are revoked, but the charters reform under new names and new management and oh my the money comes rolling in.
Here's my favorite scenario. Let's give vouchers to parents to use for supplies for home-schooling. There have been enough stories of welfare mothers having extra kids for the extra cash. How long would the lines of welfare mothers be holding out their hands for $$ claiming that they are homeschooling? It would probably outnumber the crack addicts, but not by much.
Yes, I am cynical. Been around too damn long to not be. Not everyone is like "us" normal people. Some parents are evil and looking for mo' money, mo' money, mo' money at every corner.

But your kids were not required to attend government schools. Therefore, attendance at government schools was not compulsory.

I don't smoke pot. I don't snort sugar, either.
So, how long should we keep the kid in jail?
To: Thoeting; wintertime
*sigh* Yeah.
OTOH, I've searched the Constitution in vain for any reference to education being a Federal responsibility.
Maybe I missed it?

In my county, the penalty for look-alike drugs is identical to having the real thing. So, whatever the penalty is for cocaine would probably be appropriate.
To: Mojave
Now that's the kinda lunatic rhetoric I'm talking about.
Mojave,
The biggest political bully get to control the political, cultural, and the moral, ethical, and values ( that means religious belief) agenda.
What is a simple word for the above: INDOCTRINATION!
It is impossible for education of the young to be moral, ethics neutral or politically, and culturally values free. That is why government should get out of this business immediately! We have a human right to freedom of conscience and government schools violate freedom of conscience every minute of every day!

I once torqued off our high school vice principal (1970) for having a box candy cigarettes in my right sock (just enough so he could see it). I know drivers who like to have fake cardboard "radar detectors" clipped prominently to their sun visors while driving through states where radar detectors are illegal...
To: Thoeting
I had better call a tip in on Kroger. Those jerks are pushing fake cocaine nationwide in broad daylight. I saw this woman buying a kilo of it yesterday.
To: null and void
Good catch. I happen to disagree that Education should be under the auspices of the Federal Government. In addition, I believe that the power of the Feds should be limited to what is specifically laid out in the Constitution and that would be interstate commerce, defense and foreign affairs.

Do they advertise it as cocaine?

Thoeting.
Government indoctrination camp is COMPULSORY on the pain of arrest, and prison for the parents and foster care for the children, if the parents do not have the option of homeschool or private school. If the parent resists the government authorities to a sufficient level they risk being shot and killed.
For homeschoolers who resist the government they too risk arrest and prison, and the placement of their children in foster care. If homeschool parents are sufficiently resistant they risk being shot and killed by the police.
This is what government schools are!

Thoeting,
If parents are sufficiently resistant to government school bureaucrats, police, court orders, and social workers,,,,,yes,,,,they risk being shot and killed. This is true of those who resist paying taxes as well.

Thoeting,
Just as there are very, very few tax resisters who push it that far, parents are not stupid either. BUT,,,,this IS the power that government schools have over the lives of citizens.

Thoeting,
I agree with you completely.
Ideally, parents would pay for their own children's education. Are you aware that private schooling is really very inexpensive on average. In many cases the cost of K-12 education is less than the cost of babysitting.
Private vouchers to private schools should be available to the poor. How about a yearly "Education United Fund" drive for the poor?
