quote:Yep. A few years ago I heard from a catholic school teacher that their school had started accepting voucher program students. Predictably, a few of those new voucher students weren't exactly the most studious or well behaved kids in the class. Parents who were paying their own tuition got upset and quite a few of them moved their kids to non-voucher catholic schools.
One major appeal of private schools is that public school kids don't go there haha

Since every kid will get the funding (it will follow them), the dynamics will be slightly different. The private school will hike tuition. The parents who send their kids there will be paying a smaller share of their tuition, and there will be no excuse for decent private schools not having enough $$$ to pay for the latest and greatest supplies or offer competitive salaries.
There will be some struggling schools that will not hike tuition and they will draw a lot of public school students. If they aren’t careful they can screw things up.

In NOLA, the better / quality private / catholic schools do not accept vouchers.
The ones that were in financial ruin, struggling, and about to close, were the ones that accepted it.
Now, they are no longer in financial ruin, but they are still not very good schools.
