Money intended to be used for educating children, is instead being used for...

Educating children.

If the dollars per child amount isn't enough, raise taxes. It's ridiculous to complain about not getting money for children you don't have to teach.

Edit: if you want to argue that taxpayer money shouldn't be used for religious education, or that private schools need to be held to educational standards, I completely agree. But that's not what we're talking about.

When I was a kid I went to a non-religious STEM School for 2 years. It was fantastic. They had all kinds of science stuff, computer programming, gifted classes. But after 2 years my parents couldn't afford it anymore so I went back to public school. I was doing so well and learning so much. Now when I hear about voucher programs I think of myself as a kid.

I'm an adult now and my kids go to public school. I can't afford to send them to private school. I have a passion for reading and math, and have passed that to my kids. They're both several grade levels ahead, and their teacher is struggling with the kids who aren't going to be able to meet grade level. It breaks my heart to see how bored and lazy they are getting at school, because same damn thing happened to me.

The voucher thing isn't all about Christians.
