NO, NEXT QUESTION: High-Stakes Gamble: Is College Still Worth It?
SCHOOL CHOICE UPDATE: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE CONTROVERSIAL All the usual suspects have trotted out the typical “separation of church and state” rhetoric, but in reality, billions of taxpayer dollars are allocated to private schools, many of which are religious, in the form of vouchers, and the U.S. Supreme Court has weighed in on this issue. In Espinoza v. Montana (2020), SCOTUS endorsed a state tax credit program that pays for students to attend religious schools.
A new study published by the Urban Institute reveals that students who attend private schools through a school choice program are more likely to graduate from college. The report, The Effects of Ohio’s EdChoice Voucher Program on College Enrollment and Graduation, joins a growing list of empirical studies that demonstrate school choice improves academic outcomes, increases parental satisfaction, and saves taxpayer money.
