250. The public school was not
the right fit - that's why I paid to send him to private school. Public schools are rarely the "right" fit, most private schools aren't either. So what? We all have to make choices based on priorities and capabilities. My priority is to use tax dollars to improve public schools, not to allow others like me who want to opt out to have their burden eased. Poor is still poor, and vouchers won't be nearly enough to allow poor children to go to a fancy private school.

If your child has learning/physical/emotional problems, there are other sources of help. School vouchers are not the answer.
