You're right, but the cost would not go up significantly. There are around 20,000 private school students in utah, including ones that wouldn't be paid for, such as pre-school students. Compare that to the 523,000 public school students who are already using state money. That's only about a 3% increase, which I can live with. It is even less when you consider that a voucher system would be less wasteful and more competitive, possibly lowering school costs for everyone simultaneously.

You forget that the voucher would eventually go to all private school students -- even those who normally choose to attend private school without a state subsidy. Hence, the state will end up paying for students that it wouldn't otherwise have had to pay for.

This doesn't make any sense whatsoever... a universal voucher system would spend the same amount of money per student, it would just allow the parents and students to decide where the money goes, rather than forcing students to attend their designated public school.

Are you trying to be sarcastic?

And no, I didn't pass but I graduated.
Next time think before you ask a question.
Unfortunately half the students in my class had to take at least 1 portion of the test more than once. And it was the easiest standardized test I've ever taken. Our public schools are really teaching our students, eh?

They don't.

Have you seen the KSL truth test video?
KSL is ANTI-VOUCHER, and even they admit that your claim is not true. Think again about public schools "losing money"
And you really think our teachers are getting paid well? Why are all the good teachers going to private schools? And since I can't post URLs, go to google and search US Teacher Salaries and click the first link. Ranking 38th in the nation doesn't sound very good to me.

The UBSCT was put into place for the class of 2006 (my graduating class) BECAUSE of NCLB.
SEC. 1503. ASSESSMENT EVALUATION. (a) IN GENERAL- The Secretary shall conduct an independent study of assessments used for State accountability purposes and for making decisions about the promotion and graduation of students.
This came directly from the NCLB text, along with much more that supports my debate, but in the interest of time and limited text, I invite you to read it yourself.

Wrong. UBSCT was required by the state legislature before NCLB. NCLB does not require a graduation test.

Have you looked at the impartial analysis in the voter information pamphlet?
