Tax Credits for Private Schools

[OK_Cat]

If they want to allow more government funds into private schools then they should increase regulations on the private schools. Which is what weird private school parents are running from to begin with.

[Dugout DickStone]

How could anyone possibly care whether a child's state allotment goes to one school over another. Public schools let out of district kids enroll everywhere for the very reason of grabbing that allotment. Why shouldn't private schools be able to do the same?

Dems seem to be hitting some historic level of irrational butt hurt

Then they should have no problem being regulated and not teaching a generation of kids that the earth is 6000 years old.

I'm for that too..

If government funds are supporting a private school then you can't fire a teacher because he's gay or because she is unmarried and went on a date.

Sounds like a magnet school.

Sometimes I drive on the Turnpike. Can I get a credit for the time that I was not driving on the public roads?

NO, you benefitted from goods and services being delivered to you on public roads

Yeah, but the people who I am paying to provide those services already paid their taxes to cover their use of the roads.

Well good luck just strictly driving the turnpike throughout your living existence.

Quit being dumb.

OK, so this credit thing is for parents who only send all their kids to private school their whole life and not for those who move to a private school after some years in public school. So only for the people who are so rich they can afford to send all their kids to private school their whole life.

She just wants credit for the times she chose not to use the public services. Why can't she just save her receipts and then take that total off of her next car tag? It's the same thing.

I mean, if all of those people on the private toll roads started driving on the public roads, those public roads would start getting really clogged really fast.

Good idea.

I really thought the sensitivity related to a child's education could be looked at a little more closely than trash service and roads.

I think this is an area where we could offer some sort of help for those wishing to educate their kids elsewhere while still paying for a large service they don't use. 

I don't have a problem with this.

to your first, this is a meta argument from people who want our government to look like Somalia instead of the organs and instituions which built America into the greatest country ever on the face of the world

second, you'd have to be pretty damn foolish, damn near stupid to think the tax credits being offered are in line with the amount of money the individual pays to public education.  hint, its not a dollar in dollar out system.

Well I'm not sure how you arrived that I'm somehow pining for some  pro-Somali structure, or whatever.. I still believe in increased public education funding, and especially at the University level where real economic gain can be found.

You're right the proposal is too high, maybe a 500-700 dollar credit would be more reasonable..

I'm trying to find a win-win here for those who support public education (me), and those who choose to educate elsewhere.

If it doesn't exist how about an interest deduction for loans taken out on private prep school?

Sorry, I took your initial musings as a question rather than a position, I didn't mean to pigeonhole you into the FSD/John anti-intellectual, anti-gov somali movement. 

I'd have to think about your tax proposal.  I'm generally in favor of using taxation as a motivator instead of direct public monies, its definitely an interesting position.

The only anti-intellectual thinking going on here is believing our government is efficient and effective at education.

Seems like maybe we should try to do some things the way that those countries with better systems are doing them.

i think he wants to move to the central american model where there is no public school and only rich kids get educated

You know the public education system here has failed when there are more English speaking people in China than in our own country.

i wonder if that has anything to do with china having a legit 1billion more people than the usa and english being the "world" language.

This is always the blanket bomb that anti-society types always throw around about everything government.

Considering education budgets have decreased in this state and that kids still graduate with a chance to gain good employment then I would say they've done pretty well with what has been provided.

If your so anti-government then why not just stick to watching the NFL and NBA. Let me warn you though, they're union.

What if she goes boobs out on a college basketball player?

I saw her jogging yesterday at about noon...clearly has a lot of free time on her hands now.  For those wondering, her boobs looked much better in her tank top than pressed against Naadir.
