Should private schools be government funded? This is a rising debate, especially in Iowa. Recently, Governor Reynolds proposed a plan to help students pay for private school tuition. In this bill, she also proposed that all public school must have online resources available to assist in their education. These resources include course syllabuses, course materials, and available library books online. I think that these resources could really benefit students, especially those who need some extra help in their classes.
If private schools were government funded, it could help the students who would like a private education but can’t afford it be able to get the education they want. I believe that if a student is eligible for a private school, that they should be able to attend if that is in their best interest. Most private schools already have scholarship programs in place, but sometimes those scholarships don’t amount to much compared to how expensive a private education costs. I believe that this bill could help a lot of low income families that just need a little bit of extra help to get their child the education they need.
Do you believe that private schools should be government funded?
Do you think added resources could help you achieve better grades?

Great topic choice Lauren and one that hasn't been done before so +5. Your summary is brief overall and always be sre to check back on Thursday afternoon or evening to see if more people replied.
I don't think that private schools should be funded by the government. If we fund the private schools for anyone to go, then it basically turns into a public school. I think that people pay good money for their children to have a private education and we should leave that to those who are really willing to pay.
I don't think private schools should be government funded. If they were government funded then they would pretty much be a public school with most likely different rules and requirements. Also I think that if there were to be added resources I think it would help to achieve better grades.
I don't think that private schools should be government funded. If they were to be government funded, then they would be the same as a public school. I do believe that added resources would help contribute to overall better grades.
I do not think private schools should be government funded because it would turn into a public school. I feel like it would raise taxes for people as well so thats another reason. I also think if you want a good education from a private school you should have to pay something.
Private schools should not be privately funded! It makes no sense whatsoever that Governor Reynolds thought of this. Private schools are Private for a reason. Most of the time they have students that are smarter than the ones at a public school.
I don't think private schools should be government funded. If the government funded private schools, then the private school would have to follow all the government restrictions set on public schools. The government can not endorse any specific religion, so this would not allow a lot of private schools to to the thing they were built to do.
I do not think that private schools should be government funded because they are there to provide more things to help people be smarter. I think tht it would be just like a public school if a private school was government funded. I do think that added resources could help you achieve better grades.
I don't think that private schools should be funded by the government, mainly for the reason that it is supposed to enhance an individuals intelligence by providing more services. If they funded it, I feel that it would be taken advantage of. Having more resources would play into achieving better grades.
I don't think that private schools should be funded by the government. That would make Private schools no different than public schools. I think that there could maybe be more grants and scholarships for them, but not direct funding from the government.
