PUBLIC MONEY MUST NEVER BE USED TO FUND PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
If some people are not satisfied with the public school system, or feel that their childrens poor academic achievement is the fault of the public schools, there are other ways deal with the situation. For example:
Parents and/or guardians should become more involved and proactive in their childrens education and achievements. (Baby sitting is NOT the purpose of the school system.)
Initiate Home Schooling for the primary or elementary years.
Enroll their children in one of the many Charter Schools in the area
Enroll their children in a private school or parochial school AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE!!
Join with others to take steps to improve academic achievement within the existing school systems.
The last resort would be to consider moving to a different part of the state or out of the state all together.
