Reply to comment by PudVortex3000 in Vermont House advances stricter regulations on private schools taking public tuition by casewood123

Listen to yourself. You at the same tome acknowledge the superiority of the private schools but if everyone can't have it you'd rather deny it to everyone. It's so cynical and petty that you would deny children a better education because you or someone else might not be able to experience it.

Misery loves company.

No, it's called making the bad choice better. Instead of leaving the public school in a bad situation and making the private school better with public taxes.

If there is a sub standard product, you don't force everyone to use it in the hopes that it improves. The fact of the matter is that it isnt the $$$ invested. Vermont invests more per student than private schools yet still have sub-standards in the eyes of many, its the meddling of the State and it's organs that depreciate the experience.

No, you punish the system. That's the only way that works, carrot and stick. So you punish an underperforming school, reduce it's funding and then....somehow....the school improves? Or it goes under, that's cool, too, for the pro-private school folks, at least.
