 CD>> private schools is $2915. A voucher should be more than ample.
 
 BK> Well, how about we just give the private schools that $2915.
 PB> What's wrong with giving each school child a voucher of $6630 for

Ever do the math?  An average class size of 30 would bring just a
hair under 200,000 bucks, with $6630 vouchers!  Five-thousand
buck vouchers should be plenty to give teachers nice raises and
pay for everything else.  Return the savings to the taxpayers.
BTW, I'm sorry that I couldn't figure out that nonsense
from the other poster about how the public would have less
interest in education if we had a voucher system.  But,
with a voucher system expect a dramatic increase in
private and business contributions to schools.
