Up-front cost is not part of any system I am aware of. Can you please link me to your source on this?

I will see what I can find, but I can't do it right now. You listen to Rush he was the first person I heard mention the prepay proposal. He didn't see anything wrong because it would show that the parents were serious about their child’s education!

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.
|
That's good, any proposal should not create more problems, and a false sense of hope, for the poor!!

Under the current system they are basically screwed out of their own tax money.

No they have the option of allowing their money to teach their children in public school. If they choose to go elsewhere then it is their choice to not take advantage of the system their tax dollars provide. They have the option, poor people under the current system have no option.

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?
|
The ones already in private schools are not my concern, it is the ones who will leave the public system, crippling it further!

It isnt welfare if they are actually paying for it. Not sure where you got that idea.
|
If it is set up in a manner where only the rich can take advantage, it's welfare for the rich. If every student can actually benefit, I would be more inclined to see if it would work!!

Me too. Vouchers will fix the problem.

Good for you, I however am not convinced it will be effective raising the education level for all citizens, not at this point anyway!

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.
|
The public school system is no more or less corrupt than the rest of the government programs. It just depends on who is in charge and directing the final destination of tax payers cash, for the most part taken under false pretence!!! Masturbate on your own time, keep the details to yourself!!

If everyone gets an equal chunk, I don’t see how that favors the rich.
|
I don't either, if that is the way we go. On the other hand the money is allocated for our public schools to be well ran, educational facilities, and the American people are not getting their moneys worth.

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.

I only maintain that if your child isn't doing well in public school then private school, may not be the answer either!!! If a child is doing good in a private setting, then most will also excel in a public environment! So where is the advantage, other than having a child with credentials, for college?? I am not afraid of nothing, except stupid people!! I am not convinced it will be successful, IMO! So save the dramatics! I answered you, now what do you think about the first part of my post which has been proposed in several states including Florida, I believe? What is Colorado proposing?? Are they trying to eliminate public schools or are they truly concerned about raising the academic level of their students in general???
