What is the difference? If a family is not happy with the public school their child is assigned to that family is able to move to a different school, Denver to Jefferson Co.for instance. Asking for the money to be spent at a different school all together, religious or sport. Spending money to charter schools should be on the shoulders of the parent not mine. I believe in a good education and this comes from a public school, if a up and coming quarterback or priest needs a different school, their family should bear the cost.
