I think gaining understanding for this subject is really important. I personally think that one should gain as much information and knowledge as possible on this topic. The more we know the better we deal in different type of situations. Here is another related page that may be of interest to some, it’s all about family education, here it is http://www.parenting-education-rights.com/Family-Education.php

By Test scores, Sweden has the best education in the world. Their system is very similar to ours, except they facilitate their citizens' ability to choose which school their children go to.
This bill is the best hope we have for improving the quality of our country's education.

This bill makes complete and total sense! We need to gain control of education! It is our right to learn and not be controlled by the bureaucrats. They steal our money from us and then make us learn what they want us to learn. Lets pass this bill!!!

You can be sure that there is no such thing as "free money." You can be sure there will be strings attached, and you can be sure that you will have LESS control of your children's education! Do you think the Government wants to give this to us out of its kind and generous heart? It will OWN us if we keep taking its money. Think about it!

The government will get their money one way or another. This is just another way to shift the money around and keep us occupied with straw-men and out of the real issue. How can we get a tax credit if the government has no money, is in debt, and tells us they need more money? Let's look into privatizing education altogether (which is less expensive all around and benefits American citizens) and get rid of government controlled education (eliminating political agendas and bureaucrat control), then we won't need all these childish tax-credit lollipops.
