So you were fortunate enough to have parents that could afford to send you to a private school, but you don't think all children should have the same opportunity?
Why do so many in this country claim to want "equality" (personally I only want equal opportunity), but then oppose school choice? The government has failed MISERABLY to properly educate our children in America. In my lifetime our public schools have gone from the best in the world to about 24th in the world - and they continue to slide down the list every year. Our kids can't compete with kids in other countries; we don't come close to winning international academic competitions and haven't for some time. I was fortunate enough to have the money to move my kids to a private school when they were in middle school and bored out of their minds in their public school that offered absolutely nothing for gifted kids. 85% of schools in America don't offer advanced learning opportunities for kids who need them. Why on Earth would anyone think it makes sense to force everyone to send their kids to a terrible public school that doesn't meet their needs while forcing those parents to pay thousands every year in property taxes to fund it??? Sorry but that makes ZERO sense. The money should follow the CHILD. And the child's parents should decide where his/her needs are best met.
