Tax Rebate in New Hampshire Town Poses a Test for School-Choice Issue - New York Times

Great idea.

There is a small town in Connecticut that is trying to implement this as well. Conn has the highest paid public school teachers in the nation (obviously due to paying more taxes than 90% of the country) yet they are rated as one of the lowest in the country with respect to 8th grader reading, writing, and mathematic proficiency.

Fucking unions.

One of the reasons my wife and I are waiting longer to have kids is to make sure we have enough for private schooling K-12.

LOL California is a lost cause. Best to either let it fall in the ocean or to kill everyone (except my family members and friends) who lives there and start over.

Private > Raised by Wolves > Public.

99% of the bullshit stupidity stories about schools we hear, are from public schools.

Insert 10,000 threads of mien about PS. Anyone who has a choice, picks private. That there should tell u something.

so the problem is that the public schools don't offer a quality enough education right?

So the people with means pay for private school and their kids get a better education.

The people left in the public school are those who generally can't afford to go to a private school.

So you give tax credits or vouchers back to those who had means enough already to go to private school.

What does that leave the public schools with as far as funding? What about the children with no other option but to go there?

I'm fine with private schoool, I went to private school K-8, but I think they should be equally accessible to all if they are going to start receiving public funding.

My first choice would be to improve the public school systems, the elite prep schools can still exist, I wouldn't ban them, but lets get the public schools up to a level where they can complete! These are the nation's children we are talking about, the future of the country really, isn't it in our best interests to educate them ALL?
