    Its because these schools are all run by unscrupulous types. Yeah you get the voucher, good luck paying for tuition and the rest. Its clear this is a way to damage public schooling in my state while also giving a back handy to some friends. Axe that shit, and give the money to public schools. The only thing wrong with education is what we allow to happen by underfunding them

    School vouchers suck.

    I’m a huge fan of school choice, but to me, that means:

    • multiple school options w/ no cost difference (so all tax funded, for example)
    • sufficiently robust mass transit so kids can get to whatever school they want
    • incentives for teachers to find a better fit for a student

    “Vouchers” are a lazy approach here, and I would assume they would largely benefit wealthier families.
