I mean, I am not an education specialist or a journalist, but this headline – and assumption – are just ridiculous.

Pro-tip for modern American journalism. If a Republican says something is about saving money or freedom? It is about NEITHER.

At least for you. Vouchers are for sending public money to private institutions that can’t make it on their own. It is about tax breaks for folks who don’t need them. It is about denying children a proper education on the public end, and to shield children from properly learning about the real world on the private end.

It is about taking from the poor and kicking them while they are down some more for cheap jollies. That’s it.

If I were an employer, I’d hesitate to hire someone who hid from the world in homeschooling, or private/parochial schools without at least asking why it was done. You are getting an incomplete person, even with the finest instructors. Public schools *should* be better, I agree, but life lessons are learned from being challenged, not running away and saying, “screw you and your’s, I’ve got mine (on your dime)”.
