Editor, Senate Bill 2 has been carefully crafted to appeal to Texas parents in the $150,000-plus income bracket. Does that sound financially disadvantaged to you?
None of the parents closer to the actual poverty level would be able to send their children to private school with a $10,000 voucher, since that doesn’t cover tuition in most of the good private schools.
Also, since private schools aren’t required to take standardized tests or report the results to the general population, the private schools are able to craft their own “legend” of success.
It then becomes worth asking another tough question: What exactly will parents really get for the $10,000-plus they’ll invest in private school fees?
The answer is probably a tuition bump.
