Comments on: Julia Steiny: Get Creative with Private School Vouchers http://www.educationnews.org/education-policy-and-politics/julia-steiny-get-creative-with-private-school-vouchers/ Education News Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:01:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tim Phillips http://www.educationnews.org/education-policy-and-politics/julia-steiny-get-creative-with-private-school-vouchers/#comment-17814 Tim Phillips Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:04:23 +0000 http://www.educationnews.org/?p=219135#comment-17814 Julia, as a private school owner, but someone with an open mind, this is a brilliant article. I will say that the schools I have worked in prior to starting Ruby Christian either gave the kids the ITBS or the Stanford 10 every spring; perhaps there are other private schools that do not do so, but I know of some that do offer comparable standardized testing to public schools. That said, I agree with all three of your mandates. At this point, I as owner would gladly accept the per-pupil money, lottery system, and greater accountability in exchange for more students at our school. We believe that we have a solid program here at RCS that can benefit many styles of learning. A voucher system like the one you propose would help not just us but the community at large.
