I'm for state paid vouchers. When I went to high school the district spent about 12 grand a year per kid. So I figure they could give each student 10 grand to spend on any school they want. Government saves money, crazy fundamentalists can send their children to schools that teach the world is 6000 years old and all the species of animals can fit on one boat, and all children get a better education

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Likely every child would get a better education, even those who are taught that the earth is 6,000 years old.

Personally, I favor tax credits to all. Parents could use them to education their own child, businesses and those without children could donate their tax credit to a private foundation awarding private vouchers to private schools.

Vouchers, since they could have so many strings attached, could turn private schools into quasi-government schools.

And tax credits couldn't come with strings? My problem with tax credits is that it'd be a federal program. Education is a state issue.
