Apparently you took your course in fuzzy math from Mr. Bush.
By taking a child from a public school, there will not be an automatic
$8000.00 saving. One child leaving will not mean less teachers, less
administrative, less support personnel, less building or less overhead
costs. The only cost saved for one child will be the money spent
directly and separately on that child. To save the $8000.00, you would
have to voucher a whole lot of children. The $4000.00 spend on a
voucher, however, is $4000.00 that could have been spent to improve the
public school system. To see the true cost, multiply the number of
children vouchered to save an actual $8000.00
Vouchers are the rich conservatives first step toward privatizing the
schooled system. Once this is done, just like our health care system
which operates for a profit, there will be millions who are left out of
the educational process. Currently, we have one of the best systems in
the world if you look at the data. But, I notice some people just ignore
the data when it doesn't support their bias.
What's the big deal. With this many poor not having access to
education, we are ensuring that we will have people to take the minimum
wage s that conservatives are so stingy at raising.
This is another cheap smoke and mirrors trick to make it look like
compionate conservatives (an oxymoron if there ever was one) care
about those who have less than them.
