In 2011, Wisconsin education officials suggested subjecting publicly funded private schools to the same performance standards that are applied to public schools. Fifteen years later, those types of accountability measures still do not exist.

I don't condemn any school but no tax money to private schools. I went to a catholic elementary school in the 1960s as did all my siblings thru the 50s 60s and 70s. We all received an excellent secular education except for the catechism classes and daily mass. Taught us all critical thinking skills.

vouchers should never have been allowed, it just robs money from the public school system. If you’re rich enough to afford private school, then do it, but everyone still should have to pay school taxes because even people with 0 children currently pay them.

also, we should stop funding public schools based on ZIP Code and give every school the same amount of yearly funding per student. otherwise it just continues economic opportunity gaps and that is against the whole point of public school.

If you look at these schools, especially in red states (Texas is a good example), performance is often woefully substandard. In addition, monies often seem to disappear down black holes and WEI administrative salaries.
