Re: [Phys-L] Private schools



I might add... real estate agents LOVE to talk about the wonderful schools that make a house worth a half million. Don't disregard the value that good public schools bring to the home prices of a community. They don't ask how far Macy's is or where is the nearest car wash... they ask about the scores and the teaching and the AP courses.

Should they all get vouchers? I hope not.

Just like how the people in the above situations still benefit from taxes paid for police & the dept of transportation, so do they benefit from public education. It may not be through direct interaction, but the benefit is there.
