North America Michigan, California school voucher initiatives threaten public education By Andrea Cappannari and Debra Watson 6 November 2000 Use this version to print On November 7 voters in California and Michigan will cast ballots on state-wide initiatives to provide parents with publicly funded school vouchers to send their children to private or parochial schools. 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.

25. Why Choose A Parochial School? (Freude) (Orthodox Christian parochial schools are becoming more common, too, and now exist in california, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York http://www.theologic.com/oflweb/school/paroch.htm

In the past, OFL has offered articles for Orthodox parents interested in making the most of their children's experience in the public school system, and for parents interested in home schooling. Many Orthodox parents, however, turn to non-Orthodox parochial schools for their children's academic education. Below, Popadia Donna Freude offers both her professional and personal advice on evaluating a parochial school and handling the potential conflicts between Orthodox beliefs and the religious beliefs taught by the school. - NTK Why Choose a Parochial School? by Donna M. Freude, M.A.Ed. From the time of birth, we parents make thousands of decisions concerning our children. Should we use disposable diapers or cloth diapers? Bottle feed or breast feed? What pediatrician should we select? And of course, where will we send our child to school? The plethora of choices continue to develop as your child grows. The decision to send your child - a baptized Orthodox Christian - to a non-Orthodox parochial school may be made for as many reasons as there are individual children. What is a parochial school?

30. American Boys' Clothes: The 1960s--Chicago And California He seems to have begun wearing long pants at about 10 years of age.. parochial schools. I attended parochial school in both Chicago and california. http://histclo.hispeed.com/country/us/co-us19606par.html

An American Boy in the 1960s: Chicago and California I grew up in Chicago and California. My mother had European tastes concerning fashions. I wore short pants to Catholic School through the 8th grade. This was not "acceptable" to other boys in the 1960s and 70s so my friend Michael and I were always dodging abuse. An 8th grader in grey or blue short pants and knee socks was considered a sissy. I remember sone pretty rough back then. but know I find it a bit exciting. My Family Dad Let me say that I was not from a rich or affluent family. my father was a real estate broker. His accounts were business structures; i.e. office building/space, factories, land and upscale houses. So he was not around alot unless he had business dinners and entertained clients at the house. Needless to say, my sister and I were at our best for these. As the youngest of the two kids, I felt I was just a "show piece". Mom I can only guess that my mom with the British influence and the ties to Paris thought that a proper you boy dressed a certain way and that was that. I also remember that she as I guess many mothers at that time followed Jackie Kennedy fashions and we all remember JohnJohn in short pants well into his early teens. He sure didn't help. [HBC note: John appears to have worn short pants including short pamts suits as a boy. HBC has not noted him wearing short pants into his eraly teens. He seems to have begun wearing long pants at about 10 years of age.] Parochial Schools

Friday November 1, 1996 - Thursday November 7, 1996 Printer Friendly Email to A Friend Friday November 1, 1996 Cleveland school voucher pilot program upheld by court JORDAN F. LUBETKIN Cleveland Jewish News CLEVELAND (JTA) A district judge has upheld the constitutionality of Cleveland's pilot voucher program which grants parents tax-funded tuition vouchers to send their children to private and parochial schools. Jewish and civil rights groups have expressed mixed reactions to the decision. The Cleveland program grants 1,500 disadvantaged Cleveland children up to $2,250 per year per child. The money can be used in the school of their choice, including private and parochial schools, and participating public schools in adjoining districts. While similar voucher programs are being tested around the country, Cleveland's program is the only one that allows money to go to religious schools. The decision, handed down by Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Lisa L. Sadler, marked a major step forward for school choice supporters, and dealt a blow to the program's opponents, who have included teachers unions and civil rights advocacy groups. "For a long time I've thought that vouchers were the way to go," says Rabbi Samuel J. Levine, educational director at Fuchs Bet Sefer Mizrachi. "Vouchers have worked in other countries which value the separation of church and state," he adds, citing England and the Netherlands as countries that have successfully implemented voucher programs.

Friday May 16, 1997 - Thursday May 22, 1997 Printer Friendly Email to A Friend Friday May 16, 1997 Cleveland's tax-based private school vouchers nixed JORDAN F. LUBETKIN Cleveland Jewish News Cleveland's pilot voucher program granting parents tax-funded vouchers to send their children to private or parochial schools is unconstitutional, the Ohio's 10th District Court of Appeals has ruled. The vouchers violate the separation of church and state clauses in the Ohio and U.S. Constitutions, ruled Judge John Young, joined by Judges Dana Deshler and Peggy Bryant. While supporters of public education, teachers unions and civil-liberties advocates have welcomed the decision, Jewish organizations locally and nationally have mixed reactions to the court's decision. Started last fall, Cleveland's pilot program grants tuition vouchers of up to $2,250 each to 1,994 poor Cleveland children who attend kindergarten through third grade. The vouchers, redeemable at the private or parochial school of the student's choice, have transplanted $5.5 million from Cleveland's 70,000-student public-school system to private and parochial schools. Children now in the program will continue through the end of the school year. But the program's future is uncertain, even though the biennial budget for Ohio includes funding to expand the program next year to include 3,000 children in kindergarten through fourth grade.

Home About ARL Articles >> School Vouchers School Vouchers: Voters Say No . . . by Albert Menendez and Edd Doerr Regardless of how the U.S. Supreme Court rules in the Cleveland school voucher case this year, the voucher issue will continue to play a role in the political process. Just about every state legislature and Congress could see battles over proposals to drain the public treasury to support nonpublic schools’ under the guise of parental choice. And hard-pressed public schools will be caught in the crossfire as they try to maintain adequate levels of funding to educate 90% of this country’s children. N THE 2000 ELECTIONS voters in two large and important states, California and Michigan, overwhelmingly rejected voucher schemes in statewide referenda. These voters handed advocates of public aid to private and parochial schools their 23rd and 24th defeats in 25 elections held in 14 states since 1966. The California vote was 71% to 29% against Proposition 38, an elaborate voucher proposal that would have cost at least $2.4 billion and would have required the state to give a $4,000 annual voucher to any parent, rich or poor, to send a child to a private school. No accountability for the expenditures and carte blanche for private school religious and gender discrimination were parts of the plan. Californians of every demographic group and regional location voted against the plan, including 66% of Catholic voters. Even rural, white “interior California” counties that voted heavily for George W. Bush for president opposed the initiative.

Wood, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor LOS ANGELES - Backed by deep-pocket millionaires, California and Michigan are giving new life to the controversial national debate on school choice. Two citizen campaigns now under way could drastically alter public education in their states and shape the direction and vitality of American education reform. Both campaigns deal with laws that would provide parents with state-funded vouchers to help pay tuition at private or parochial schools. Boosted by recent court rulings that say the government can use taxpayer money to support private schools, the votes could either bolster or stall the growing pro-voucher movement.

Re: private school teaching requirements in California Posted by wig on 5/13/04 First of all check with your state dept. of education . In my state private/parochial schools are required to have a teaching certificate. If that is not a requirement, then you will need to check with the schools you apply at. Under certain circumstances (e.g. having expertise in an area where a qualified teacher cannot be found) some schools may make an exception. The majority of non-public schools set standards to meet and exceed state standards. The good ones are accredited. They cannot be accredited unless all teachers are certified.

California's Berlin Wall Michael Rothschild This article appeared in Upside (October 1993). Exactly four years after the Berlin Wall was breached, the front line in the struggle between state power and individual rights has shifted toof all placesCalifornia. This time, although the contest will lack the "made-for-TV" imagery of graffiti-covered concrete, refugee-packed embassies, and massive street rallies, the outcome may have a more dramatic impact on the daily lives of Americans, particularly those in high-tech. On November 2, Californians will vote on whether to revolutionize their public schools by replacing the traditional government monopoly with a system based on market competition. No one disputes the pathetic condition of California's (or for that matter, America's) public education. In the nation's largest state, 60% of students either drop out or graduate with skills below the 7th grade level. In an age of cut-throat global competition, companies are hard-pressed to find workers who can read and write, much less add and subtract. U.S. technology companies are being forced to spend scarce resources to redo the job that the schools should have done. Motorola, for example, is spending $120 million a year3.6% of payrollsending its workers to remedial classes. As low-skill jobs disappear, under pressure from automation and offshore competition, America's schools annually dump millions more semi-literates onto the labor market.
