The way to tell vouchers are a private school subsidy above all is:
The private schools retain the right to choose students and have no performance assessment or financial 🔎.

“Best fit for their child’s needs” is campaign-style messaging meant for editorial boards and elite Dem-types.
The real school voucher goal is and has always been subsidizing religious education. It’s not more complicated than that.

2. Those people are all competing with you
3. You're working furiously toward a future payoff instead of enjoying life
4. You don't have money
5. You don't have high status
