The alternative, the one SS is referring too, is to stop what they feel is another attempt at affirmative action, or anything that would give the peasants, an opprotunity to be competitive!!! This program will be available to all students, who are currently attending public school, or have already been attending private or secular academies. The problem is most of them are prepay programs, that will only accommodate those who have the money to spend on private schooling already. You pay for the education, and a voucher will be returned to the government upon completion of a semester or two, and the parents will then obtain a refund. How many good low income students who attend the failed public schools will be able to come up with $12,500-25,000, in advance, so they can get their refund months later??? What if they have more than one child???

Up-front cost is not part of any system I am aware of. Can you please link me to your source on this?
The proposed system in Colorado doesnt work like that. It would be paper-less. Parents would assign their voucher credits to an approved school ahead of time. They would not have to provide the money up front.

Another interesting aspect is that more, parents who have there children in the academically successful, public schools, knowing they will be reimbursed, will "use" the vouchers as another advantage, to send their upper class kids to private schools.

And why shouldnt they be allowed to? It is their tax money too.
Under the current system they are basically screwed out of their own tax money. They have to pay for public schools in addition to paying for private school. But they have just as much a right to that money as any other tax payer. Right?

There is absolutely no, evidence that private schools are any better at teaching the general population, than that of the public school systems. None!!

Then what are you worried about? Why not let parents make the decision?
If what you say is true, nothing will change.

Sorry, but this sounds like welfare for rich people to me!!!

It isnt welfare if they are actually paying for it. Not sure where you got that idea.

Me, I personally think they need to fix the problem, the public school system!!!

Me too. Vouchers will fix the problem.

Neither dems or repubs want this problem fixed, they want to continue to exploit and extort from it though!!!

Yeah, we masterbate at night thinking about the number of problems this will cause and how rich we will get off of it. It just feels wonderful.

But any program that is specifically be used by the rich, who already attend private institutions, please, stop!!!

If everyone gets an equal chunk, I dont see how that favors the rich. And if you maintain that there is no evidence that private schools offer a better eduaction, then I dont see what you're afraid of either way.
