Many rank-and-file Republicans are "happy with their schools ... and they worry about money being diverted," Jewett said. I am glad Floridians oppose vouchers but there is a bigger problem as tipped off in the statement up above. The affluent public school districts are doing just fine. One affluent public school district just over the line from Seattle has computers for every kid, a scanner in every classroom, numerous dvd players etc. Classroom size is limited to 25 and there are special one-on-one classes for the few kids with learning disabilities. On the other side of the border, there are roughly 5-8 computers per class and no other technology and the numerous students with special needs are lumped together with the regular students. What kind of learning divergence are we creating as advanced education becomes more and more critical to one's well being as an adult? In the poorer district, some students will excel simply because they are that bright and/or they have considerable support at home. But the vast majority are growing up with mediocre learning skills and only a bare minimum understanding of technology.
