No, please read carefully. I said if this continues and more money is diverted from public schools, this will be the case. This should be obvious - every dollar on vouchers is a dollar NOT in public schools. That's not a side effect by the way, that's the entire purpose of these developments.
> Why cant students flow back into public schools if private ones become expensive and terrible over time
Because the public schools have no money now because you took it. That money doesn't fall from the sky.
> let failing institutions fail
Okay, so you agree with me. If we go down this path public education will fall. Once again this is the nature of this political movement, not a side effect.
> If you think accreditation criteria are too lax for private schools, then that is a workable objection
Sigh. No, no it's not. Because then you have a school that has accreditation and curriculum managed by the government that receives public funds.
Um... you just described a public school. That will never happen because the very idea is at odds with the ideology behind it.
The idea isn't "public school 2.0". The fact private schools have no standards is not an oversight, it's the motivation.
