(Page 1 of 3) Your goal is to find a school that will meet your child's needs. But how do you choose between a public school and a private school? By Victoria Thorp and Jesse James, GreatSchools.net Staff Cost Public schools cannot charge tuition. They are funded through federal, state and local taxes. When you pay your taxes, you are paying for your child's education and the education of other children in your community. Private schools cost money. Private schools do not receive tax revenues, but instead are funded through tuition, fundraising, donations and private grants. According to the National Association of Independent Schools, the median tuition for private day schools in the United States is close to $12,000 for grades 1 to 3, $13,000 for grades 6 to 8 and $15,000 for grades 9 to 12. The median tuition for boarding schools is $12,000 for grades 1 to 3, $27,000 for grades 6 to 9, and $28,000 for grades 9 to 12. Parochial schools generally charge somewhat less.

Joining Rachor in the front row is his wife, Gloria; in the middle row, from left, are scholarship recipients Ellen Makhenzon and Julie Dodd, with UM-Flint Chancellor Juan Mestas; in the back row, from left, are Arlene Kocsis and Charles Rachor, sister-inlaw and brother of Rachor. Ellen Makhenzon emigrated to the United States five years ago from Ukraine. Since then, she has learned English, earned U.S. citizenship, and started a family of two boys with her husband. Today, she is a 29-year-old college senior studying finance and economics and carrying a 3.8 grade point average in the business administration program at the University of Michigan-Flint. At first glance, the 44 scholarships supported by the Rachor Foundation appear to have little in common. They support students pursuing careers in management, medicine, U.S. history, and other disciplines. They cover tuition for graduate school, undergraduate study, community college, and parochial grade school. Some require good grades, others do not. Some are based on financial need, others are not.

COLUMNISTS Susan Ager Desiree Cooper Brian Dickerson ... Rochelle Riley SECTIONS Today's stories Metro Wayne Oakland ... Place an ad (none) Poor kids can go to private schools Some see new scholarships as threat to public education September 29, 1998 BY MELANIE EVERSLEY Free Press Washington Staff WASHINGTON Michigan came out the big winner Monday in a new national scholarship program set up by an entrepreneur to help poor children go to private or parochial schools. But the Children's Scholarship Fund is just the type of program that some public-school advocates say threatens the future of public education. Of 35,000 four-year scholarships ranging from $600 to $1,600 annually, 3,750 totaling about $15 million will go to Michigan. About 50 percent will be granted to students in metro Detroit; 37 percent are earmarked for the Grand Rapids area. "This is fabulous news," said Anita Nelam, a member of the Detroit Partnership for Parental Choice, a coalition of Detroit ministers and others who want alternatives to Detroit Public Schools. "This is a tremendous opportunity for us to expand parental choice in the city." The competition could help improve Detroit Public Schools, she said.

California's Proposition 38 (the National Average School Funding Guarantee and Parental Right to Choose Quality Education Amendment) would make a $4,000 voucher available to the parents of all school-age children. The official anti-voucher coalitions are largely made up of the teachers unions and other AFL-CIO affiliates and sections of the Democratic Party. But these forces offer no serious program or strategy for addressing the crisis in public education, and the danger consequently exists that growing numbers of parents, desperate to find better conditions for their children, may be susceptible to pro-voucher arguments, if not now, then at some point in the future. These forces have sought to exploit the widespread anxiety felt by working class and middle class families over deteriorating conditions in the public school system. The voucher proponents, however, conceal the fact that the crisis in the schools is the product of decades of federal, state and local spending cuts, tax breaks to big business and attacks on teachers' and other school employees' wages and working conditions.
