Bingo! That is exactly how it should work. People should have
choice in how their money is spent but the NEA (and politicians)
is dead set against all of that. They are all for choice in reproduction
but when it comes to public education they want institutionalized
mediocrity and continues status quo (job security I guess).

Yet you want tax funded education? He who pays sets the rules. Ain't got to
happen and wouldn't if the teacher unions fell asleep and it somehow passed.




What? I never said I favor tax funded education. Personally I think
everyone should be responsible for their _own_ children's education
and not expect other people to pay for it. (of course that would
never happen because it requires people to assume responsibility for
their own life and that is politically incorrect in this day and age)
The straight tax credit is an excellent way to go, but also requires
assumes people will accept responsibility for their own and their
children's life and we know people are used to the government doing
that.


I was simply applauding the previous posters idea because it
has a lot of merit and certainly a hell of a lot better than the
way we things are done now.
