It's not a matter of tearing down public education to lift up private education. It's a matter of improving education across the board. Vadillo added that at St. Mary's, some of the children have five or six family members contributing to pay tuition because they feel their child is getting a better education there than at their neighborhood school. We turn our back on the poor because the wealthy can afford to go to any school. Likewise, Brown said he'd like to see some of Christian Life's parents get a break.
Parents are very much for it.
They may get the opportunity for mothers to not have to work full-time to have their kids here. Parents are divided Carole Wagener, a parent of five and candidate for the Santa Maria-Bonita school board, said she's been on all sides of the education system. She home schooled her two sons before sending them to public school and later to private schools. My theory is the other way around, more parent involvement and less governmental involvement in the child's education. The voucher schools, not the parents, choose who can attend the private schools.
