Private school vouchers take money away from public schools

Actually, it would increase the amount of money public schools get. Let’s take Washington DC as an example. DC spends $10,000 per year, per student, on public school. Private schools in DC cost an average of $3,000 per year. So if the DC government gives out choice vouchers for $4,000 to every parent for each kid they wanted to send to private school instead, the public school system would PROFIT by $6,000 per student leaving.

Liberals want everyone to be pro-choice, unless it means being able to escape from union-run failing public schools so you can prepare to be a productive adult.
