What do u think about school voucher system?

Question

now some private schools want to use public tax money for their schools. i don't think they should get funds if they don't hav to be accountable to the state gov't. i don't think public school money should be taken out of schools, to start "alternative" or charter schools, it should be used to improve the schools we already have

Answer 1

Yeah, you are right.

But, seriously, our schools are messed up! Most of the problems here begin in children's minds; then they grow up with those same beliefs and the country falls apart!

Answer 2

There's more to the voucher system than you think. In many communities, the only schools that are good are the private schools. Putting a school voucher system in effect would make the schools competitive. Our children have the right to a 'free and appropriate' education. What about the communities where the public schools are ineffective, and therefore inappropriate? If a school is not effective, then the parents should have the option to send their child to a school that's going to work. Under a voucher system, if a school failed to get good results, they would no longer be able to be a school, and the community wins. Who would want a school that is horrible to stay? If the school is very effective, then they would be able to stick around, and the community again wins. What's the problem with that?
