What do you think of the Administration's efforts to burry this study that shows state funded schools stack up well to privately funded schools?
SQUIRM!
SQUIRM, little maggots! It's more mud on the face of the American Hezbollah, and they appear to know it.
Do you think this study kicks the legs out from beneath the voucher movement? If so, why? If not, why not?
Oh, yes. You see, the real advantage of private schools is that many attending them come from better backgrounds. The actual instruction therein isn't necessarily superior, and vouchers entirely defeat their purpose. They also reduce the need for the private schools to compete against the public school-system, which also serves to tear down the purpose of sending a child to a private school.
Are you for or against vouchers?
Against. For one thing, we need a more federally aided school system, and no more of this nonsense of leaving inner-city kids to the wolves. The days of government-enforced class privilege should have ended a long, long time ago. If you want your kids to have a better education, you're going to have to care enough to pay for it. Unless your income range makes you eligible to recieve foodstamps, you can afford it if you're willing to make sacrifices. People shouldn't have to pay five-hundred kay and up just to live close to the good schools.
