106. If people who opt out of public education get a rebate...
What do the childless get? I've always wanted accordion lessons & my cats are badly in need of obedience school. Where's my voucher?

Sorry. I'm glad to pay taxes for public education because it's essential for a free society. If parents choose private school or homeschooling for their little darlings--that's their choice.

I keep hearing how "throwing money" at failing schools won't help. Does anybody have some real data? Real-world examples of serious money going towards building programs, well-paid teachers with small classes & community involvement--that produced failures? Trot them out.
