SCHOOL VOUCHERS
THE PROBLEM WITH THE AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IS NOT MONEY. THE COST OF EDUCATION HAS SOARED OVER THE YEARS, WHILE THE RESULTS HAVE CONTINUALLLY DECLINED. THE DEMAND AND NEED FOR PRIVATE EDUCATION HAS INCREASED AS PARENTS HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. MANY WHO CAN'T AFFORD PRIVATE EDUCATION HAVE OPTED TO HOMESCHOOL THEIR CHILDREN.
THE PERFORMANCES OF PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE BEEN MUCH LESS IMPRESSIVE THAN OF THOSE WHO ARE IN HOMESCHOOL, AND IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS. YET, THE COST PER CHILD OF PUBLIC EDUCATION IS MUCH GREATER. TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS EARN MUCH MORE THAN THOSE IN PRIVATE SCHOOL.
A VOUCHER SYSTEM IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO PROVIDING AN EQUAL AND BETTER EDUCATION FOR ALL IN THIS COUNTRY. SCHOOLS WILL COMPETE FOR THOSE DOLLARS, THEREBY CAUSING THE COST OF EDUCATION TO GO DOWN AND THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION TO GO UP -- IT'S THE SIMPLE PRINCIPLE OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE GREED AND CORRUPTION THAT COMES FROM THE MONETARY WASTE IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW THE CHANGES THAT ARE NEEDED. THE FUTURE OF AMERICA IS IN ITS YOUTH -- THEY ARE BOTH DOOMED -- UNLESS ACTION IS TAKEN IMMEDIATELY.
