Exactly. My kids attended private and parochial schools. Parents were super involved. One year, one of my children decided to try public school, it was decent, so I relight, so I said ok. The public high school? On parent/teacher night hardly any parents showed up, while the teachers stood at their doors smiling and waiting. It was sad. She went back to her private school in less than a year, her choice. The kids were awful, too
my youngest did the same the start of 10th grade. we took her out after about a month and half. they did NOTHING. math was about the only subject remotely challenging. more play days than anything because the "band would go around to the elementary schools to play so didn't have enough students for class." biology consisted of coloring a human body with crayons. the admin blamed the jr high for not preparing them esp. english. she did make some friends there,though.

From the article I read for 2025 and 2026 school years only families that make less than 300 percent of the national poverty line will be eligible. Starting with the 2027 school year all Alabama students will be eligible.

You don't just pay state taxes when you have a school aged child.
I’m aware. Fwiw, most families with school age children are net takers in terms of taxes vs services used. This goes well beyond the poor and extend nearly to the upper middle class.
A family of 4 with 2 kids in public school that makes under 150k is almost certainly having their lifestyle subsidized by the govt in a variety of ways.

Arkansas is doing a 3 year phase in, too.
Louisiana would probably do a 25 year phase in if we ever passed something similar

2 kids in public schools, that’s at least 30k in expense. And that’s just school.
The overall tax liability for a family of 4 making 150k (federal and state income, property) is lower than that in most cases.

Is this per year you are talking?
LA state budgets 4k per kid a year in public. So the 7k per year given for private is almost double what the state allocates per year for public school kids.

The way it works in Arkansas, is that 90% of the allocated amount per child is put in that child's account. So if Louisiana only allocates 4k per child, then only 3.6k would go into that child's account (if Louisiana followed the same model). I'm not certain exactly how Alabama is going to do their allocation.

If there's anything the student loan debacle taught us, is that turning on the public money spigot to educational institutions that are otherwise doing fine - it means only good outcomes for students.

Oh and all parents have a CHOICE now to help their kids with homework, make them read, keep them occupied with some kind of productive hobby…but they don’t. That is why public school sucks. Because a bunch of low IQ people have kids with the same genes and on top of that don’t give a shite about them.
So public schools won’t be fixed unless you focus more on discipline and basics and magically sending kids to a private school does nothing.
Even in the shittiest schools there are at least a few students who care and their parents care. This would give them the option to go to a different school without the animals at their current school.

The laws passed are currently what is making public schools a terrible environment. They minimize the discipline that can be imposed on students misbehaving. They pressure teachers to pass kids that don’t do their work or pass test. Kids/parents see this and have no incentive to try or care. The laws set our schools up for failure and it’s only getting worse.

I agreed.
I haven't read this whole law, and perhaps it's all bullshite.
But I am generally for anything that allows parents to pull their children out of shitty schools.

The 4k a year will definitely help with homeschooling

And it’s about to go up by about whatever the credit is.
Also, get ready for a bunch of fly by night private schools opening up in strip malls.

You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Please reference one line that reveals a “welfare state arse clown…”?
I can’t imagine walking around as an NPC. It has to be…blissful probably.
