alt Hacker NewsSchool vouchers are the only fair way to do schooling. Rich people paying for more expensive things isn’t bad. They just shouldn’t be forced to pay for the more expensive thing that they use as well as the less expensive thing they don’t use

One of the best things about America is how highschools mix children from all backgrounds.
In my country your life is already decided at age 12- go to the wrong school and it's over.

Don't worry, they can afford it. They're rich right?
I mean they may not use their local library or parks either, but they ain't getting a refund for that.

Surely that depends entirely on your definition of the word “fair”. Is it fair that a lower income child is deprived of an opportunity to improve their life through education because their parents can’t afford it?
Ultimately the debate here is “should richer people have to contribute back to society to help the lives of the poorer people”? Of course you can say no to that. But the majority of society doesn’t agree.
