I can not wait for all these parents to find out private school is much more than 10k a year and now they’re in debt before their child gets to college but hey at least you owned the libs Texas.

In some countries, they don’t have private school, only public. This gives an incentive to the upper class to make sure their kids’ schools are well-funded

Vouchers are a great way for rich people to take money from your kid’s public school and give themselves a discount on private school tuition that they can already easily afford.

So now we are paying for religious schools. Total violation of the Constitution.

Private school tuition in Texas tends to run $15K-$40K per year, so this is a discount for rich families that can pay the balance, while also defunding the public schools where working-class families will be sending their kids.

Families who believe in public education should apply for these taxpayer-funded grants and then give the money to the public schools their children attend. It would be a $4k improvement on the per-student state funding the schools receive now.
