But sending my kids to private school is how I keep them away from the poors.. Are you telling me the poors are going to be in my child's private school??

Not much private about that!!!



I'd imagine that the families that take advantage of this program will not be the poors but the middle class because the amounts they are funding per family is still not enough to cover full tuition. The families will still have to pony up some cash on there own.

every family benefits from it. You want to keep your kid in public school? cool here is $5k to save towards their college tuition or to by books or whatever else

Yea chances are if your kid already goes to a public school, the parent doesn’t gaf and won’t go thru the admissions process of a private school.

This will help the smart kids whose families can’t afford private and are being held back in public schools.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking as well. I guess it depends on the amount being received. When I searched Louisiana private school tuitions online, it said the below.

The private school with the lowest tuition cost is St. Mary's Assumption School, with a tuition of $2,365.


So while $5k may not cover tuition at many (any?) schools in BR, it appears it would in other parts of the state. And if some families are getting $7500 or more, it may cover it.
