This AJC article compares the proposed
Georgia Special Needs Scholarship program with its Florida model, the
McKay Scholarship program. Most interesting is this snippet:
"I don't know whether or not it works for the kids. Nobody knows," said Sherman Dorn, an associate education professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa, who has been critical of the lack of accountability for private schools that accept McKay students. "When parents make the choice, there's not exactly a guarantee for quality."
Parents, in other words, can't be trusted with the education of their own children. But unionized strangers can?
