Quote:The voucher program just let's me as the parent select what school my tax dollars support. As it is I pay taxes for public school and then turn around and pay tuition for my kids to go to private school. I should at least have the choice of opting out of funding the public school system if I'm never going to use it.


I don't advocate government paying for private schools that would give them authority to chancre curriculum. I just want to be able to opt out of paying for public school so I can use MY money to pay for My kids education. It wouldn't be hard to do figure out what percent of my property taxes goes to the doe and give me that back at the end of the year. The public education system is a joke I'd never send them to a government brainwashing institutions.

 

And people without kids would just like to opt out of paying for public school so they can use their money on paying for whatever they want.


Guess we'd have a really hard time funding public schools then, huh?  


Why should you get to avoid paying for public schools you don't use, but those without kids don't?  


The public education system isn't nearly as bad as you make it out to be.  And I'd never send my kids to a religious brainwashing institute personally.
