Re: What risks?

Yet if we go to the voucher system as Truecon wants to see what we then have is the poor people stuck in low-quality schools which MUST accept anyone while the wealthy schools take our tax dollars AND charge more on top of that, taking in the rich kids and enjoying our tax dollar subsidies. Thus the wealthy private schools get more people, the rich get yet another advantage and the poor get screwed again.

True con pretends that a voucher is the same thing as a private school scholarship--it isnt this at all. The better schools will want more money than the voucher and they will get it because hey, they already do from the rich. The voucher will be a nice coupon for the wealthy to use to lower their expense on the nice school.....but tell me Truecon, what about the poor and the working class....what do our kids get in this new system besides a significantly less solvent school?

And secondly why do the red state public schools consistantly fall into the lower educational testing scores (along side most every urban school system)? How is it the answer is to be more like the red states when they dont have results to shine with either?
