well let’s see. i live in a suburban area, and the catholic K-8 school in my town has full tuition of $5,500 a year. so yes, i think such a voucher would help.
In CT, transportation is free for kids who live in the same town as the private school.
even if transportation were included, it’s still a win for the town. they can now spend more money per pupil, and there are now smaller class sizes, which is unanimously agreed to help improve the quality of education.
Plus common sense suggests that if public schools are faced with competition, they’d step up their game.
The only downside is to the teachers unions. Which is all that matters to the Democrats.
