Many parents want the best education possible for their children. They do not want their children victims of a failing education system, while bureaucrats and ideologues argue over school funding, class size, uniforms, social engineering and other special interest agendas. Fixing the school system will take time. Parents must find an option to provide a quality education for their children now, not later. Home schooling is an option.
Vouchers are an option.
Vouchers give parents the opportunity and the financial support to make a choice in the best interest of their children's future. Our public schools are failing our children. For evidence, see the remedial education requirements of colleges and universities. The Times-Union recently offered pro and con positions on immigration policies for skilled foreign workers. Regardless of the side one takes in that discussion, underneath the issue is the failure of our education system to provide the skilled talent our technical industries need.
