re: Bill would let state pay parents up to $15,000 to send kids to private school

quote:"Minorities" going isn't the issue. It's that anyone can go who normally wouldn't go. You'll have some student paying full tuition while some kid next to them is going basically free.
Sounds like a 100% dem program to allow minorities into private schools that they normally wouldn’t be able to go to

Won’t this gov cheese program ruin private schools?
Elite private schools won’t all of a sudden take 500 kids a year because of this. But The Catholic League/Evangaline/Catholic High are gonna get even better at football.

Their parents are the problem. Giving them money only makes it worse.
Imagine taking the shite kids from public school and giving them money to go to high achieving private schools. What could go wrong.
My favorite teacher in HS (public btw) used to say "the only place everyone is equal is at the bottom."
ETA: I'm not talking about all public school kids. Just the ones who aren't there to learn.

Then the element that you pay to get away from would be in the private school

No way private schools will increase tuition after this passes
That's the point. It funnels more money to private schools. Every private school would have new football stadiums within a few years of this passing.

It's mostly the students that make public schools shitty. You send them all to private school and you've got shitty private schools.

I’m confused why a R is backing this?
The R's want more money to private schools. Specifically private christian schools. They're doing the same BS here in TN.

Florida does this. The logic is that it costs X dollars per student to educate them in the public system per year, so give them a chunk of money that is actually less than the cost to educate them to subsidize their private education. I think any family regardless of income can get like $7500

How would a private school know where the funds are coming from?

have a couple questions about how this is going to work. If a private school accepts this program, does the state have any say regarding the policies of that private school? Do the private schools have to modify their admission policy?
Looks like money goes to family so school probably wouldn’t even know

dated a girl from the niagara falls, canada area once. I dont know if it was just their school or the whole province but she told me they gave students the option to go either a "university" route where they would take algebra 2, physics, AP courses, etc or a "college/career" route where they would take more hands on/life skill focused classes. I feel like this is a much better system for schools to adopt. Trying to push college on a bunch of kids that dont want to go and have no business going to college is kills any chance at forward momentum academically because of the resources and time youre having to spend to get those lower level kids there.
we have that here in Louisiana. dunno why yall act like we dont.
requiring basic algebra and geometry and financial math is not "forcing college"....its basic education that most smart kids could finish by 9th grade if given the chance.

except they are saying this will cost up to $500 million more to taxpayers, because they are giving them more than it currently costs to educate them.

I would have loved this when my kids were school age.
Now, from a purely selfish standpoint, IDGAF.

I think this is probably the fastest way to make the state more competitive from a K-12 education perspective.
The special interest will hate it because it will get kids out of questionable public schools. And the stats published will exclude private schools and the political left will go on the attack ignoring that fact.
In 10 years the headlines will be all about how this republican state destroyed public schools. But it will ignore overall outcomes because most private schools that would draw students away from public schools are at least somewhat competitive already.
Now most private schools will also hike tuition now. That’s going to be a thing, especially from smaller schools whose tuition is lower than what the state will cover.

Sounds like it’s time to get government out of public schools. Just go private and get rid of doe.
This is just going to get government more involved in private schools once they start paying the bills, and schools get dependent on it.
This will eventually make both private and public schools worse.

I was detailing the logic behind Florida's (a well-run state) law, not Louisiana. Yeah, this version is excessive

It costs about $12,000 per student to educate in a public school in Louisiana

I'm glad mine are almost done with school.
