6. I wish more rural voters here in AZ would figure it out, but so many are in favor of vouchers

Of course, there have been some indictments of people claiming voucher money for their 'home school' efforts and then using the money to buy personal items. In AZ, there is not enough accountability or even monitoring of the voucher program.

The rich would send their kids to private schools with or without vouchers. It's one more case of them getting their lifestyles subsidized at a cost to the general public, IOW welfare for the well off. But here, so many rural voters all falling for the voucher program. And our public schools are literally crumbling.
