    Instead of government funding the education of the population (the current quality being a different topic) you would prefer all education to be privately paid for? In effect removing all education from everyone except those who can afford it?

    “a variety of choices” is just “private schools”?

            Who pays for the voucher?

            “A variety” is actually a selection of schools entirely owned and ran by the elite class of billionaires who owns them? Thats what you prefer?

            edit nevermind. I see your point of view in another comment. “public schools are indoctrination camps”

            I might as well have this discussion with a brick wall instead.

                So… the government is paying for a voucher for you to then give to a school?

                Public school with extra steps?

                Give it a go! Worked wonderfully with private healthcare. Good luck!

                    Right. The tax payer funds the voucher scheme. From taxes paid by the population. To the government. Who then issue vouchers. Which pays the private school.

                    Do you think the vouchers are free magic money from the sky?

                    This is a pointless distinction. The government pays for vouchers exactly as much as they pay for public schools.
