But he didn't ask for tax dollars that would otherwise be used for public schools to subsidize their tuition. Parents can play a big role in making a student and a school successful. Parents are an important part of insuring that their children come to school ready to learn. Many Members of Congress, governors, legislators, celebrities and private citizens are taking time out to read with children today to emphasize the importance of reading in education. Some of these schools are good, but many are basically not even trying to teach.
Accountability is a big problem if vouchers are handed out willy-nilly for education.
As a recent graduate in Montgomery County, I've seen firsthand that public schooling is pretty dismal. Many teachers don't know what they're doing and it's obvious that some of them don't care. Many students see school as a sort of combination punishment and daycare, and refuse to try. More time in the curriculum is spent on left wing political correctness drivel then on actual learning. My grievances could go on for pages.
