Legislative Service Commission analysis proves what we've known for years. Vouchers are about using your tax dollars to publicly subsidize adults who can already afford private school.
Hello, I agree with the points made in this blog that vouchers are not benefiting truly disadvantaged students. Even with private school vouchers, families across the United States cannot afford private school tuition even if it covers tuition there are always extra fees. According to research families where the mother has had a college education are more likely to take those vouchers rather than those families that have no college education are more disadvantaged and still unable to afford tuition with the voucher. Although these voucher programs claim to help truly disadvantaged students research show that it is not the case.
