School Choice is just a ruse to TAKE MONEY FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS

For ALEC, school choice is not really about improving student outcomes. It’s about directing public dollars to private outfits that aren’t subject to the same standards of accountability as a public school. Vouchers siphon off huge amounts of money from public schools to subsidize the private education of a small handful of students —leaving the vast majority of our children in public schools that have been depleted of critical funding.  ALEC wants us to believe that funding a failed idea like vouchers—which studies show do not improve student performance—is better than investing in a quality public education for all students.
Vouchers schemes cost taxpayers millions of dollars. For example, the voucher program in Indiana this year is expected to cost $81 million—that’s $81 million less for students who attend public schools.
Voucher schemes come in many different forms and hide behind a wide variety names that—when you first hear them—sound like attractive ideas. Education savings accounts, tax credit scholarships, individual tax credits and deductions—but no matter what you call them they all end up diverting taxpayer dollars away from public education.
