Nice shot, Charrison. First knowingly destroy the public school system, then bring in vouchers. Can't put the cart ahead of the horse, now can we?
And be sure that public school opponents are well funded, too...

We are confronted with an admin that raises lying, cheating and stealing to an artform, in every phase of endeavor....
Since you dont support vouchers, I guess you support the status quo on public education?
Status quo in public education resulted in me going to a top 10 EE schools and graduating in top 10%. This cannot be allowed to continue. It must be dismantled and replaced with vouchers.
Before you buy into this attempt to dismantle the public education system, by saying it's fundamentally flawed because it's public, go to countries abroad who consistently destroy the US in math and science competitions and see what kind of school systems they have.
Who said anything about dismantling schools that work. Public education worked for me as well(have a masters from a state school). There do exist schools that broken and where those schools exist, parents and kids are stuck with only the public option. This is why vouchers needs to exist.
Where vouchers have been implemented, there has not been a dismantling of the public school system.
But where schools are broken, parents need choice.
There is already a choice of taking the bus to some other school or going to private school with your own money. I don't think the government should be subsidizing private schools.
