“Choice Scholarships” should offered to all students when their local public school is not preparing them for the important decisions we all had to make in supporting ourselves away from mom and dad. Students have only 12 years of school to learn, let us give them a real chance to succeed by increasing their school choices and opportunities.

They have unlimited choice. They can send their child to public school or any private school they want.

Exactly similar to a public bus vs your own car, public bathroom vs your own home.

I thought children with speech and communication issues were mainstreamed in public schools and that was mandated under the ADA. Has that changed?

The entitlement is mandated, but not the enrollment. Parents aren’t forced to take advantage of the public school programs (although many do).

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), In 1997, IDEA was modified to strengthen requirements for properly integrating students with disabilities. A positive impact for many children, but eventually it becomes bogged down with mandates and bureaucracy. Private and charter schools can be more flexible and most importantly involve the parents instead of strict federal criteria.

Performance will ALWAYS over-ride the ignorant rhetoric of liberals…especially when we cannot afford any more failure, because democrats have so messed up everything…

It’s why the democrats are in so much trouble because of Obamacare…Governing based on lies will eventually catch the Greedy liberals…and we’ll get our chance. We just have to make SURE to implement Conservatism… and that makes it that much harder for the left to steal power through media Bull-S#!t…

True that. If states were more like Texas and stop letting school’s teach critical thinking skills and obey the law of God, we’ll finally get our country back…

The DNC has OUTLAWED critical thinking, and demands that law be based in Ignorance. That’s why every comment from the DNC’s Dumb@$$#$, like you…are so colossally stupid…

I have no problem with low-income families getting help with schools that will help their kids. What this school choice debate has been so far is rich families that can afford to send their kids to private schools wanting a tax break. That’s the problem! Since we didn’t have kids, we didn’t use “the system”, so based on the rich family tax break argument, we shouldn’t have to pay school taxes either!

sic(k) willie is such a wacko. Still sucking Howie the Voucher Clown’s money to promote the Voucher Scam. Call it what you want. It’s still a Voucher Scam.

S.C. already has a wonderful school choice program.

Send your kids to any school you want including public schools or private. Just don’t rob from those who need help the most to pay for your private schools.

Vouchers would do nothing for those who need help the most except leave them further behind. Vouchers abandon those who need help the most.

That’s why vouchers are a scam, and those who promote them are Voucher Clowns.
