If you think our Public School System with its’ high illiteracy rate and ever rising drop-out rate is a good example of a Government run agency then you are probably FOR Government run health care!
Now, more than ever, is the time for School Vouchers! This Economical Crisis, the worse economy since the Great Depression, calls for immediate action! Time is of the essence.
Tax Payers currently pay $10,700.00 per year to educate each K-12 student. Private school at the elementary level averages $5,500.00 per child per year and 6th grade thru 12th grade averages $7,000.00 per year per child.
If the government issued Education Vouchers worth $6,700.00 per year per child (Education Savings Account) – Tax Payers would save $4,000.00 per child per year = $4k x 55 Million Students = $220,000,000,000 Savings!
Even if you take another $20 Billion Dollars to assists families with special needs and fund after school programs - Tax Payers Save $200 Billion Dollars per year!!
Every Property Tax payer can receive a 30% reduction in their public school property tax!
It Just Makes Sense! Parents want to pick their Childs’ school based on:
Quality of Education – Parents Want to be confident with the teachers ability, academic program and method of teaching.
Shared Beliefs/Views – Parents Wants to be comfortable with the Mission of the School and Values of the teachers along with acceptable disciplinary policy.
School Location – With the need for Single Parents and/or Both parents to work. Many parents would like to choose a school close to their work instead of their home so they can meet with teachers, attend presentations, care for their child in case of illness, make it to pick-up on time, etc., etc.
School Pre/Post programs – Parents want to pick their school based on their needs. Working parents can choose schools that offer pre-school and post-school care, sports programs and clubs.
As Private Schools Open across the United States, many may be opened by present administrators of public schools with the assistance of a SBA loan, many job opportunities will be created - instead of Tax Dollars being spent – Private Industry will create revenue!!!
Public schools will have to function within the budget of the Vouchers! As the need for Public Schools declines, no longer needed schools can be sold to private industry or used as local branches of state colleges. More students would attend college if the schools were more accessible to work and home.
Smaller, more efficiently run schools chosen by the parents are less likely to contradict the parents’ authority and values which leads to greater satisfaction and family harmony. Schools that fit our individual hectic lives lessen the stress of working parents and their children.
Allowing Parents to purchase their child’s education forces schools to treat parents as the Customer Again! We need to end the “It’s my way or the Highway” attitude of schools! Gee, kind of like if individuals purchased their health care directly.
Plus!!!! It costs $200,000,000,000Less! Two Hundred Billion Dollars! Better Education for our children, Better School/Parent/Child Relationship! More Children will go onto attend College! Why haven’t we done this yet??????
Answer: 1. The Teachers Union 2. Government Loves Control over its’ people!!!
The Public School Bureaucracy has become a money hungry, inefficient Monster! It’s out dated and the progressive group must allow our education system to evolve into a more “Customer Friendly”, “Result Driven”, “Fiscally Responsible” industry. IT’S A STATE ISSUE!!
