School choice advocates, however, say state governments could provide better solutions for parents and students seeking choice in schools.

Voucher supporters perhaps?

Couple of things that I don't understand.

I was unaware that public schools charged tuition. Is this tuition charge for out-of-district students only?

Do they backcharge the cost of tuition to these parents if they find them using school services they were not eligible for?

Is the district going to be as aggresive in its pursuit of the children of illegal aliens? What a public relations scenario for the gov't school crowd!

I have an over abundance of sympathy for this public school bunch. How about this....keep your schools, and I'll continue to send my kids to a very capable private school at over five hundred dollars a month. And, oh, keep your vouchers too. If the public school nitwits ever get to infiltrate the private schools with their failures, they'll ruin those schools too.

My family tried this... I lived in the Kansas City, MO school district, but only 2 blocks from the border of the Center school district. My highschool was Southwest HS, and it was about 4 1/2 miles from my house. Center Senior HS was 4 blocks from my house. My freshman year, my mother registered me as living at my Aunt's house, which was in the Center district (it was actually farther away from the HS than my house was). Anyway, I was there for 4 weeks before getting busted. I believe that it was a neighbor from across the street that ratted me out.

At the time, Center was a much better school district. Now, it's a pretty bad one, but nowhere near as bad as the KCMO school district.

I live in Louisville Kentucky. We have limited choice in our public schools. The main reason it is limited is our school system to keep any school from becoming 100% white or more than 50% black. I keep telling people to lie about their race. It isn't the government business. We don't live in apartied South Africa.
