A school voucher is a certificate of government funding that students can use to pay for the school of their choice. Students are given the vouchers and can use them to pay for non-public school systems including private schools, home schools and charter schools Proponents argue that the vouchers will create a better education system by promoting competition between schools. Opponents argue that the voucher system removes funds from public schools and redirects it toward private institutions.

No, we should focus on improving our public schools instead
@ISIDEWITH3yrs3Y
Yes, but I would rather privatize all education
@9CXSYFB9mos9MO
The government wastes money on all programs and agencies. They have no incentive to streamline, after all it is just OUR money. Private companies want to spend as little as possible to grow profits, so they have an incentive, and if they don't (but they will) at least it's their money to spend.
@ProportionalCakeLibertarian9mos9MO
The competition among private schools could lead them to improve their educational methods to attract more students.
@ISIDEWITH3yrs3Y
@ISIDEWITH3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for low income families
@9G43LBC6mos6MO
By instituting a voucher system, money that could be used to fix the broken public school system is funneled to private schools instead. This also ignores the less tangible issues in low-income communities.

@8VL7CV23yrs3Y
it depends on the students income at home and if it would help them more so in school and their education.
@8TZ7PXT3yrs3Y
Yes, but we need to improve public schools first then we can offer students vouchers they can use to attend schools of their choice
@8RP8P6F3yrs3Y
If "government" means local or maybe state government then yes, children and their parents deserve to have school choice and the money should follow the student. Even if the student is home schooled.

@9DVX2MPRepublican8mos8MO
No, the government should not be involved.
@9DRRZJZ8mos8MO
While I agree that government shouldn't be involved in education we must consider the only alternative -- funding indoctrinating public schools designed to enslave ruthlessly and nefariously future generations and create an Orwellian despotism inescapable but by war. By funding private schools which will be in competition with one another, schools will become better and better whereas government monopolization of the education system has no competitive incentives for greatness. Our kids deserve better. WHile I would like a 100% privatization of all education with NO government intervention whatsoever if I had to choose between our current system and a voucher system I should not hesitate to prefer the latter. You shouldn't either.
@9FB966Q7mos7MO
Yes, and we should focus on improving our public schools as well
@9D3RPBQ9mos9MO
There should be no privatisation of education.
@98FP4Z21yr1Y
Yes, but we should also focus on improving public schools
