Education

I was educated in private schools and have taught for most of my career in public schools. I don't approve of opportunity scholarships because they do not provide equal opportunities. Private schools have many additional expenses besides tuition. I can still remember my parents struggling to pay the extras - activity fees, book fees, lunch fees, transportation, etc. Vouchers rarely cover the full cost of tuition and never cover the additional fees.

Also, private schools rarely admit students with special needs and even in the 21st century, there are private schools that do not admit minorities.

Then there is the separation of church and state issue. I don't believe tax dollars should support religious education. Again, my own parents, who were far from wealthy, found a way to educate all of us in private schools without any help from the taxpayers.
