Exactly correct, Richard. "Only those trying to make money of educating our kids are against vouchers". That's what all the owner/operators of non-public schools try to do - make money, including off the taxpayers. You want alternative schools? Great, I have no problem with that. But you pay for them without my tax dollars. For the majority of kids in this country, public schools will remain their only option. So if such kids are "warehoused" now, they certainly will be going forward. Don't blame kids for any shortcomings of their parents. The blame lies with a government and society that never deals with social injustice and poverty. Taking taxpayer money from public schools and giving it to charter schools guarantees a society of winners and losers, haves and have nots.
