Comment on Florida’s private school vouchers soar, creating concern over impact on public schools
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoYes I do. You don’t seem to grasp a voucher is public money that allows parents to choose the school that’s best for their children
They could spend those vouchers on a public school but why? They’d get more value at any other school

Who pays for the voucher?
“A variety” is actually a selection of schools entirely owned and ran by the elite class of billionaires who owns them? Thats what you prefer?

What you are saying is you have no clue how vouchers work. Tax payers pay for the vouchers. If thE average spend is 17k. You get a voucher for 17k. The private school I sent my kid to was 6k a year. That’s a savings of 11k per year and the testing scores were vastly better. The college acceptance rate was 100% with most going in academic scholarships.

So… the government is paying for a voucher for you to then give to a school?
Public school with extra steps?
Give it a go! Worked wonderfully with private healthcare. Good luck!

The government isn’t paying for anything. They are collecting the tax revenue and issuing vouchers.
Well unlike public school there would be education actually happening.
