My town spends $15k to educate each kid. If you give me $2k of that to help me pay for catholic school , the town keeps the other $13k and now has one fewer kid to spend it on. so more spent per kid. That’s good for the kids who stay in public school. In another post you said you wouldn't benefit. Doesn't the $2K per kid benefit YOU?
It’s win win. Except for teachers unions, which is the only key reason democrats oppose it.100% wrong.

So if 10 out of 2,000 students leave a public school what will get cut?
will a teacher get laid off?
will the heat be lowered?
will the bus routes be changed?
The costs are still the same. There will be 24.2 kids in a class instead of 24.4 - that is it.
All is it does is subsidize you sending your kids to private schools. Most people can't afford the $15K it costs to send their kid to private school regardless of a subside.
Why don't the Catholic HSs take kids with handicaps and educate them instead of leaving them for the public HS?
