As the parent of a private school kid (and ultimately, I expect,
three private school kids) I completely agree. I don't want to
take away my support of the public school system.


Don't forget that vouchers will kill the private schools by forcing too
many unqualified minority kids into their classrooms. Just like
"bussing" in the '70s.
