An important question this article ignores, is why private school vouchers are chosen over public schools?

    So… the government is paying for a voucher for you to then give to a school?

    Public school with extra steps?

    Give it a go! Worked wonderfully with private healthcare. Good luck!

      The government isn’t paying for anything. They are collecting the tax revenue and issuing vouchers.

      Well unlike public school there would be education actually happening.

        Right. The tax payer funds the voucher scheme. From taxes paid by the population. To the government. Who then issue vouchers. Which pays the private school.

        Do you think the vouchers are free magic money from the sky?

        This is a pointless distinction. The government pays for vouchers exactly as much as they pay for public schools.
