School Vouchers

[alum]

The problem with large public school systems is that "problem" students" and "teachers" can be moved from one school to another within the system similar to "problem priests" within a diocese.

At our local high school there are at least 10 kids from 2 high schools that share our boundaries that were expelled from their own high schools and put in ours. I'm sure that the reverse is true as well. I can think of at 2 boys that had concealed weapons charge (pocket knife) and vandalism that are in my daughter's grade.

One teacher at our local elementary school has no criminal record but he's just a BAD teacher. Principals are so happy to get him out of their schools so they don't give a heads up to the new school.

Mr. Alum and I don't support vouchers. We do believe in public schools and believe a child can get a great education from a public school. My kids each went to private for kindergarten because public only had 1/2 day nonsense but after that, public all the way.
