School Choice

• Poor children go to college on scholarships. There is no reason to think scholarships for elementary schools would not be possible.
• Every parent would have more money since income and property taxes would drop if the money formerly spent on education was returned to the taxpayers.
• The cost of education would drop since much of the bureaucracy associated with government run schools. Private schools cannot afford to be expensive. The average private school cost per student is lower than the average government run school cost per student.
• You would no longer have to worry about Bob Barr, Jesse Helms, The Christian Coalition, Teddy Kennedy, or Bill Clinton deciding what your children should learn. Prayer or no-prayer, sex-ed or no sex-ed; you would finally be able to make all these decisions yourself and never have to worry about what the next election meant to your child.
• School choice will lead to choice schooling
• Vouchers are an excellent way for the government to increase control over private schools.
