Back to School Thoughts

An Argument for School Vouchers

Anastasia Zoldak
As I sat down to write today, I started to think about all the children graduating from pre-school, kindergarten, high school, and college. I also started to think about all the money that parents have paid in order to assure their child was getting a quality education.

The question I had for myself was how much do we really pay out for each child in the public school system in comparison to a private school and the answer I found left me speechless.

My daughter is graduating into Kindergarten next year and the teachers she has had for the last two years in pre-school have done such a great job!

In order to continue my daughter's education within this wonderful program we will have to pay out an additional $5300.00 next year for a full-time Kindergarten program.

So out of curiosity, I checked to see what the state was going to pay in order to educate my daughter.

It has to be publicized, but I can tell you it's not a very well known or an easy report to find.

I believe children in this country deserve to have a high quality education without their parents having to spend their future college fund to get it. What do you think?

Every child deserves a quality education and we can well afford it with what we're paying right now per child in our public schools!

By the way, the administrators in my daughter's school make twice as much as the teachers.
