You have to be really stupid to be against school choice and vouchers.
Until private and charter schools are following the same rules and restrictions as public schools, a person would have to be “stupid” to let tax dollars be basically given away with low-to-no accountability.
I call bs…
…and you have to be really, really stupid to be for them.
Kids can already go to any public school in the state.
Why give away taxpayer dollars to schools that get worse outcomes and aren’t held accountable to those outcomes?
A reminder the state of Indiana lost $86 million to a charter virtual school enrolling dead kids and we still, to the best of my knowledge, haven’t seen a dime of it back yet.
Why are “conservative” Republicans trying to destroy Indiana’s constitutionally mandated system of traditional public schools? Seems more radical than conservative. Bizarre.
Money.
What Pat said. Throw in … it’s an attempt by religious folks to boost their numbers, thinking if they get kids young, maybe they’ll keep them in the pews.
Tell me again why my tax dollars should pay for other people’s children to go to private schools? No state, community or country will compete without a robust public school system. Oh, and isn’t Todd Huston a consultant for Stride and Spokenote? Follow the money indeed.
Because my tax dollars have gone to public schools and I have paid tuition so that my children can receive the education & support I feel was best for their future success
If you want to pay tuition, knock yourself out. People have done that for decades. I did it for several years until I realized my kids were worse off in private religious schools than in public schools.
Why should taxpayers be forced to pay for an education in which kids are taught religious beliefs that some taxpayers may not agree with, but they also get a substandard education that ends up harming everyone when they aren’t contributing members of society?
We’ve already just said parents have no right to allow their transgendered kids to take medicines. So it appears to me that the parental rights are now secondary to the desires of the government … except when it comes to voucher dollars.
Why should my tax dollars go to educate your children in public schools?
“Knowledge and learning, generally diffused throughout a community, being essential to the preservation of a free government; it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to encourage, by all suitable means, moral, intellectual, scientific, and agricultural improvement; and to provide, by law, for a general and uniform system of Common Schools, wherein tuition shall be without charge, and equally open to all.”
Been in the state constitution for coming up on 200 years. Article 8.
Makes me think of this story from Charles Barkley:
=====
Bill Russell called me one time… He says, “Charles Barkley.” I said, “Yes, sir, Mr. Russell.”
“You grew up in Alabama. Right?” I said, “Yes, sir.”
He says, “Did you go to public school?” I said, “Yes, sir.”
He says, “Did the cops ever come to your neighborhood?” I said, “Yes sir.”
He said, “Any of the houses ever on fire and the firemen come?” I said, “Yes, sir.”
He said, “I don’t want to see your black *** on TV complaining about your taxes anymore.” I says, “What do you mean?”
He says, “So now that you got money you don’t want to help other people out, but when you were poor, other people took care of you.” And I says, “You know what, Mr. Russell, you will never hear me complain about my taxes again.”
And it was a very interesting lesson for me, because I do think rich people should pay more taxes. I’m blessed to be one of them, and we should pay more in taxes. I learned my lesson. I never complain about taxes.
