School choice...Is it a worthwhile program?

Texas appears to be close to introducing vouchers for school choice but there is a lot of pushback stating that it will pull necessary funding for public schools.
Is it a worthwhile program?

Coming to Louisiana if the GOP wins the next governor’s election.

Poli board.
Choice is always good for the consumers of the product. We tried school choice last year, and the rural representatives and the RINOs blocked it from being voted on.

IMO there has to be viable private school alternatives unless you want to home school. Rural areas don’t have private schools to chose from.

If there's money to be used via vouchers, they will pop up in rural areas. Some will be an improvement over public schools. Most will be no better. Some will be a lot worse, run by people in it for a buck or unqualified ideologues.

But they would have choices if charter schools were licensed (permitted to operate) and viable.
Charter school funding has never been hard. The state spends $15k+ on public school kids year, and the lefties want to complain that the state will give $8k to a charter school to teach the kid. Yet, the public school is still collecting the difference on a kid that isn't enrolled there.

It willl just inflate the cost of private schools. Having already chosen to make the sacrifice to send my kids to private school I am not a fan. I am sure there will be income requirements which I would likely not meet.

Larger districts usually wind up paying money to those more rural districts through Texas’ Robin Hood law. Between that, unfunded mandates based on state testing that private and some charters don’t have to do, and the loss of funding for any students they lose( since school funding is based on WADA), public schools will slowly become extinct.

There are allegedly some republicans here that are opposed to it as well.

The private schools have to agree to accept the vouchers and none of the good ones do.

State money should follow the child, and parents and guardians should have school choices of public, private, religious, or home schools.
And all non-public institutions should have choice over their admission policies.

Is this where "conservatives" take government dollars to pay for a private school they otherwise couldn't afford? And then justify it by saying "I pay property taxes' that don't come close to amounting to the cost of tuition for years at those schools?

as someone with 2 very young Texas children i’m very interested in how this turns out and the opinions of others who have experienced “school choice”
education is going to be a priority for my kiddos.

Governor of Texas or of Louisiana?
And, if Louisiana, you seriously overestimate what a new governor can do for a State.

It's weird that people still think school choice works.
