We need school reform. Kids shouldn't be forced to spend all day in a place they hate that doesn't actually teach them anything. They don't want to be there because it is a waste of time.

We should have school voucher programs so kids can go to better schools and good schools can kick out the shit students.

    The college system is not a voucher program because you can only get free or reduced tuition to local state colleges, and you can't even go to universities with them. It is literally the same as other public schools.

    You are confusing student loans with community College.

      That is a voucher system,

      You keep saying this and it is completely wrong. A voucher is something you can take anywhere you want. To any PRIVATE or public school. In any state. Anywhere.

      You can't take the funding your community College would get for your attendance and go somewhere else with it, and apply it to your tuition there.

      That is what a voucher is.

        You can't take a voucher anywhere. It has to be accredited.

        Oh, look at you trying to split hairs. Why don't you just admit that you are wrong instead of making these absurd, bad faith arguments? Obviously the vouchers need to be used at schools. That doesn't support your claim at all. You can't take your community College funding to a different college because there is no voucher program.

        They obviously have other funding like direct tuition payments, research grants, sports events.

        Sure, grants (depending on stipulations) can be like vouchers. But they are not given to everyone. That is not the predominant system for government funded education.

        I can transfer to another state school

        Another disingenuous argument. A real voucher can be taken to a PRIVATE INSTITUTUON.
