Because as I stated, in a LOT of areas of the country, the only private schools nearby are religion based, and I think it's BS that public $$$ be used to foster the teaching of religion.
And if you need to travel too far - I'm sorry, but I don't think that having to transport a 6 year old an hour one way every morning and every night contributes to his learning or his general health, no matter how damn good the school is when he gets there.
What I am trying to say is if you're in NYC or Chicago and there's zillions of schools one on top of the other it can maybe be beneficial - but other than that, it sucks.
