An important question this article ignores, is why private school vouchers are chosen over public schools?

    Eventually we will eliminate the public school system with a variety of choices.

          Instead of government funding the education of the population (the current quality being a different topic) you would prefer all education to be privately paid for? In effect removing all education from everyone except those who can afford it?

          “a variety of choices” is just “private schools”?

            Not sure you understand what a voucher is. Do you understand how vouchers work?

                Yes I do. You don’t seem to grasp a voucher is public money that allows parents to choose the school that’s best for their children

                They could spend those vouchers on a public school but why? They’d get more value at any other school

                  Who pays for the voucher?

                  “A variety” is actually a selection of schools entirely owned and ran by the elite class of billionaires who owns them? Thats what you prefer?

                  edit nevermind. I see your point of view in another comment. “public schools are indoctrination camps”

                  I might as well have this discussion with a brick wall instead.

                    What you are saying is you have no clue how vouchers work. Tax payers pay for the vouchers. If thE average spend is 17k. You get a voucher for 17k. The private school I sent my kid to was 6k a year. That’s a savings of 11k per year and the testing scores were vastly better. The college acceptance rate was 100% with most going in academic scholarships.
