Seriously, Folks: School Voucher Proponents Need to Get Real
I do not understand why 7k per child is too little to bring in private enterprise. 7k * 30 = $210,000. This allows you to run a 1 room school house, remember those, at a fair profit and excellent student teacher ratio.
The fact is that our educational system is poorly conceived. Are vouchers enough to fix our system? I say yes. Those vouchers will allow for core competition which bring with it new ideas and better products. The product in this case is student education.
No, you may not field a football team or put on the latest musical. You may not even have class lasting 8 hours a day. You would have students that learn to read, right, and cipher.
Fighting against vouchers is fighting against choice. Fighting against vouchers is fighting for the system. What happens to the ‘truth to power’ cat calls here?
