An acquaintance in Canada implied to me that all Catholic students in Canada can get vouchers and have been able to do so for quite some time. What was interesting is they implied it was only for Catholic schools, not other religious schools, and was part of their Constitution. When I attended engineering school back in the dark ages, it seemed some Catholic students were better prepared for college compared to public school students.By Oldprof

Some Catholic school supporters have got their wish—public funds for their tuition, at least for a few well-placed students. Now, if the students involved don’t make progress, will they refund the money and disavow claims of superiority? If the powers-that-be change (and wait, they will) then are the Catholic schools ready to have their curriculum controlled by the state in return for those funds? Another case where some people weren’t careful about what they wished.
