    What you are saying is you have no clue how vouchers work. Tax payers pay for the vouchers. If thE average spend is 17k. You get a voucher for 17k. The private school I sent my kid to was 6k a year. That’s a savings of 11k per year and the testing scores were vastly better. The college acceptance rate was 100% with most going in academic scholarships.

      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!

        The government isn’t paying for anything. They are collecting the tax revenue and issuing vouchers.

        Well unlike public school there would be education actually happening.

          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.
