Curious on the motivation for this carve-out. There's a bunch of other basic service needs that apply to all children but yet we don't have government-run grocery stores, clothing manufacturers, hair salons, toy makers or book publishers.
Disadvantaged groups are government-subsidized (state-provided health insurance, food stamps, housing subsidies) but the recipients of those funds are typically privately-run.
Is it the concern that in a voucher system private providers will churn out shoddier end product?

Every private school I toured for my kid, has a 100% college placement record. The one we picked has a 100% ha graduation rate. Including the kids that transfer to public during the HS years (self - reported) There's statistically less crime at it, they teach Python to 6th graders, ffs.
