OK...I'm going to be in the minority on this one...and will probably take some heat...but remember, this is my honest, humble, personal opinion, which I am entitled to have...
I SUPPORT the school voucher program!!!
As a parent with 3 kids (2 of mine and 1 step son) in private school, I would really appreciate some type of tuition relief - not necessarily a "voucher", per se.
I support Bush's proposal to provide Tax Credits to parents of children in private schools. Just as parents can take a Child Care tax credit, that same incentive should be available to provide some relief for school-aged children in private schools.
My husband and I have made the choice to send all of our kids to a private christian school, and will continue that with them through high-school. The costs are ENORMOUS, but well worth the sacrifices.
Where should the money come from? I don't believe that the money for these tax credits/vouchers should be taken away from the public school system. Instead, there are a whole bunch of other wasteful government programs that these funds could be diverted from.
