I think, maybe, quite possibly there could be a large variation in the quality of first through high school in the state of texas. Fact might be, a very large determine factor in buying a house for school aged families might just be the quality of the specific school your kids would attend. Don't like the success of the schools in Manor Texas? well maybe buy a house in Steiner Texas across town.
Newcomers have the ability to make that decision but they are a small part of the population. Vouchers simply help longer term residents with flex to make the best decision.
And do not talk about the fairness of taking away from the general fund. All three of my kids aged out of the public school system 33 years ago, and I am still paying for some one else's kid.

Ill look for the clip but a republican strategist was on a pod and they asked how the hell could Abbott lose and he said education, education, and education. He took over 1 billion of out public education and died on the voucher hill
Hinojosa ran on education and said she would fire the TEA guy day 1 and repeal vouchers.
Its as simple as that. Doesn't matter what you think of them or not, it was a disaster and he was too busy running ads about kids using cat litter boxes at school and going to school a man and returning a woman......

Got it. Poor people should move to a better school district.

I want the public schools improved back to where they were when I was a youth.
Back to being a valuable part of living in Texas. Better options for my kids, and my neighbors across town, or across the state.

before leftist teachers unions and government bureaucrats started fleecing the system, lowering standards, and leaving the taxpayers with the bill?
yeah, that'd be great. but forgive us if we dont trust the very democrats who created the problem to fix it for us.

Yeah. We all want that, except for the teacher’s union.
Ask an average teacher how important phonemic awareness is for a kid to learn to read. Throw in the words “science of reading” for fun.
Then ask them why schools performed better before the focus on social emotional learning.
Then prepare for an exorcism.
The teachers know so many things that just aren’t true.

You often don't even need to change districts, just schools. At any rate, there are seven different school districts within a 20 minute drive of where I live.
In the district my kids go to, you have home values (not including outliers) from mid-high 100s to very low seven figures. All of that gets you into a district with 5 out of the top ten performing high schools in Houston, including what I'd consider a borderline dump in Morton Ranch (where the poors in Katy go.) And, you can live in over 1500 different apartments, including 2BR, in the district for under $1,300 month (depending on that vile "daily on demand" pricing bullshite.)
That's just a few vapes and Monsters difference from living in a shitty district like Alief or Houston ISD.

It only benefits the rich and now private schools in Texas aren’t taking them so it’s a complete was of time and money
Please tell me how it benefits the rich when it is based on your income?
It has helped with some teacher pay in the private schools as they increase students because of the vouchers.
Me personally, if your kids are in private schools, you should get a reduction in your property taxes. They aren't benefitting my kids. But they sure are building massive new schools and unbelievable football stadiums.
The facilities are a lot better at the public schools that our little private school.
It's not the money of the facilities that you throw at kids. It's the home and the parents that actually care.
If the parents in a school don't care, the school pump out idiot students and no matter how much money you throw at it, which will just go into building facilities and admins, the student is not helped.

The same way it happened across the United States.
We let commies run our education colleges, push their Paulo Freire nonsense into public school curricula, and then stand back in awe when it all went to shite.
Texas’ performance is not markedly worse than the rest of the country. Most of our public education is shite. The national average is 31% reading at grade level for 4th graders. Only 9% of fourth graders nationally read at an advanced level.

inflation adjusted over the 12 years at 4 % per year you get a flat level of support. And yes 4% is a good number when you add in the 4 years of Biden runaway inflation
