The NEA claims that the taxpayers will double their costs--should vouchers become available for all. In the long run, however, successful students from chosen schools of learning, will diminish the cost for the taxpayers; because the various Teachers' Unions will become smaller and their demands fewer...

Should every child in the nation (state by state) be able to attend a private or parochial institution of his or her parents' choice; via voucher and/or tax incentive to families and/or non-related donors: public funds will be saved. (1) teachers would be fired for poor performance, and or indecent behavior (2) certifications would be rendered unnecessary--as other criteria are sufficient for rating the professionals, and (3) schools, principals and teachers--wih caretakers' input--will be able to teach pursuant to what they deem the most beneficial mode--with the most effective materials, etc., etc.

We need choice education for all learners' needs. Vouchers, tax rebates, whatever satisfies the people: Let us do it!
