"Parental choice" is however uninformative (speaks of the perceived results and not the action about to be voted), highly subjective, and without any meaningful information.
- gojomo 8y ago‘Parental choice’ isn’t at all a ‘subjective’ result of such voucher programs. It’s both the intended and actual effect wherever such programs are offered. Parents wind up sending children to different schools than they would have otherwise attended, in accordance with the parents’ choice. Even the CTA opposition to the proposition implicitly conceded that, because they predicted doom for public schools after many children left for other schools. If after the proposition passes, children are going to new, different schools – parental choice will have undeniably been exercised.
