Why do dim-marxists not care about the poor whose children are trapped in a failing public school? Dim-marxists will travel to El Salvador to slobber over an ms-13 gang member but don't care about American children whose only crime is being born poor.
Why don't dim-marxists acknowledge the fact that public schools are failing to educate our children. The falling test scores prove that fact.
Are you saying the founders of the state of Louisiana were dem marxist? Also do you have proof that vouchers for private school improve outcomes?

You think the solution is sending them to worse performing voucher schools? Can you explain your reasoning?

With that logic, shouldn’t the public school set be required to subsidize (Jesuit, Newman, whoever), because of the same argument, that a well educated population benefits everyone?
Why should we subsidize someone who chooses to live in a shithole with no good public school option?
Try living somewhere decent and you can use the public system.

Who is eligible to apply at this point?

I'm not saying that at all. But I am saying there are many students who are trapped in failing public schools. They are lumped in with trash who have no business in our schools but dim-marxists insist they not be given the boot so students who want to study and learn are able. And that is just one problem, there are many more reasons.
You still haven't answered why you are against the poor trapped students.
And it is a waste of time conversing with people who won't address the real problems, or provide real solutions.

Heck yeah - Drew Brees needs us all as taxpayers to subsidize his children's tuition at Newman.

Last time I checked, Louisiana spent something like $12k per kid (including the federal dollars) for each kid educated in LA public schools.
$5k per kid is a steal.

Vouchers enable everyone to do the same exact thing Drew Brees does, do what he thinks is best for his child. Why would you rather trap poor children in a failed school. When the money goes with the student the parent can use the money to do what they think is best for their child.

sounds like they are finally getting some return on their tax dollars.

You have to live below the poverty line and 89% of the applicants are already in private/ catholic schools?
I dont see how that is possible.

Thus, the majority of vouchers will go to families who are currently paying for private school. This is new spending.
Good
All Louisiana students should be entitled to the same public monies. And hopefully public school students consigned to failing public schools will have options to attend better schools.

Right now the poor have no choice.
Your response is the typical response of a socialist/communist. The emotion your response has at it's core is envy. You will make sure the poor don't have a choice just so you can stick it to the person you see as priveleged.

Unfortunately, voucher schools have consistently proven to be worse than public schools for students.

It’s only socialism when other people get the handouts, not him.

it was ranked as the 15th best charter school in the US.
You didnt even see what you did here
quote:
Charter schools are publicly funded schools that operate independently from their local district. There is debate on whether charter schools should be described as private schools or state schools. Advocates of the charter model state that they are public schools because they are open to all students and do not charge for tuition.
Critics of charter schools assert that charter schools' private operation with a lack of public accountability makes them private institutions subsidized by the public.
So nothing like a public school, with a specific zone, and local board direction
quote:
Enrollment preference is given to the following students:
1) Students returning in the second or subsequent year of enrollment, including siblings of students already enrolled at BFCS
2) Children of BFCS employees
3) Children of BFCS board members
4) Transfer students from other BFCS schools
5) Siblings of pupils already accepted into BFCS
6) Students qualifying for the McKinney-Vento program
A prospective student expelled or awaiting expulsion from their previous school will not be admitted.

Hope not, not sure how LA is but here in NC home schooling falls under the department of Non public education, and they have very little rules. I don't want the government money so I can homeschool my kiddo as then they have rules and a say in what you teach.
Also 30% for public school applicants is probably about average. Even if you have the voucher to send your kid to a different school or private school you still have to be able to get them there
