I think it's basically gonna go like this:

1. Public school systems in any marginally large sized city in Louisiana are absolutely fricked.
2. People have to send their kids to private school and pay tuition out the a-hole unless you want to just watch them get their asses beat on WorldStar videos on twitter.
3. We elect bad politicians who don't know what their doing, but know how to chase votes. So they come up with pie-in-the-sky plans that can't really be funded worth a shite for any moderate amount of time.
4. This bill will pass because private school parents are like "Finally, I can stop feeling like I'm being fleeced, paying taxes for a terrible public school system I don't use..."
5. Private schools will double their tuition costs overnight.
6. Private school parents will be like "MOTHERfrickER!!!"
7. The state will end up not being able to fund the plan for more than a few years because we're broke and the legislature is inept.
8. The program will whither and die, and be replaced by something shittier because we've now robbed peter to pay paul.
9. The funds will dry up.
10. Private schools will never go back to previous tuition levels.
11. I will hopefully have left Louisiana decades from whenever this point occurs.

I may be naive here but why is this a guaranteed thing? I'd imagine the costs going up some but double? Who would get all this extra tuition? certainly not the teachers. I just don't see why a school would outprice a large number of their students without it benefitting someone.

This is a good take on exactly what’s going to happen.

Does anyone actually want this bill? Are state legislators scared to be a nay vote on an education bill?
