April 02, 2004 Advertise Subscribe Site Map Front Page ... Wash. Golf Monthly Outside View: Hypocrisy in 'Hi Skool' By M. Royce Van Tassell A UPI Outside View commentary In 2004, however, three Utah legislators exposed these arguments for what they are by sponsoring a refundable tuition tax credit for "special needs" students. Although the exact language varies from state to state, the arguments against parental choice are always the same. First, that parental choice will drain the public schools of sorely needed funding. In Utah this works well rhetorically, since the state has the honor of being last in the nation in per-pupil spending. However, exactly the same claim is made about the proposed voucher program for students in the District of Columbia, where the schools have the dubious honor of being first in the nation in per-pupil spending. Second, that parental choice will only benefit the wealthy. School choice proposals in Utah in the past have not included a means test, so this argument has made a good sound bite. However, the opponents of choice have also lobbed this argument at programs that do have income ceilings, such as the ones in Milwaukee and Cleveland. Third, that parental choice will "cream" the best students into private schools and leave the most expensive and difficult to educate students in public schools.

Presented at ISEC 2000 A Partnership for Change in General and Special Education: The Utah SIGNAL Project Monica L. Ferguson, Utah State Office of Education - Utah SIGNAL Project Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. Contributions from: Bruce Schroeder, Mae Taylor Abstract The United States is facing significant economic and social pressures that are impacting our Nation's schools and teachers in the classroom. Students are more culturally and linguistically diverse than ever before. Increased numbers of students with disabilities, limited English proficiency, and students at-risk are entering our classrooms. Students are entering our schools at-risk as a result of changing family structures, and many adverse conditions at home such as lack of supervision, exposure to drugs, violence, poor housing, nutrition, and health care. In the midst of these social pressures, our country's economic transformation from an industrial nation in the early 1900's to an international information economy in the 21st century, necessitates a college degree or specialized technical training for every student in America. Students must exit our schools with knowledge and competencies in basic math and literacy, critical thinking, technological literacy, and lifelong learning to be successful. The public outcry to raise student standards to produce a skilled and knowledgeable workforce in the face of increasing diversity in the classroom, creates a challenge for preparing teachers with new knowledge and skills to address these demands (U.S. Department of Education, 1998).
