Quote:Vouchers are a terrible idea.  Money shouldn't be attached to individual students.  You open the way to vouchers, and you're going to open your way to fraudulent schools that take advantage of parents.  Because if the government can't hold them accountable, then there's nothing stopping them.  All you have to do is look at for-profit colleges.  Most people won't put University of Phoenix on their resumes for a very good reason--it looks terrible to employers.  All that will matter to those schools is marketing, and in the end my kids suffer because some dumb parents decide to send their kids to a crappy private school over public school.     Because I'm not going to send my kids to a private school.  

I'm sure you don't care too much about the fraudulent schools that'll cheat people out of an education--at least not until those kids are all on welfare.  


Private Schools should get private funding.  Public schools should get public funding.  I don't think we should subsidize private schools anymore than I think we should subsidize private insurance.
