Opinion #1
Debater: The Wild Goose

Vouchers destroy effective private education.
Vouchers do not "create demand" for education. If anything, they destroy that demand. First of all, government money never comes without strings attached. "Private" schools taking government voucher money must accept a long list of conditions, most of which effectively render private schools no better than public schools. In many states, private schools must accept students who apply without regard to academic success, religion, family, or even prior criminal activity. Secondly, vouchers are available only for students in public schools who "want out". This may encourage families struggling to make ends meet so their children can go to private school to actually remove their children from private school, just so they can become eligible for vouchers. Finally, by making more students eligible for private schools while simultaneously removing the rigorous standards they use to select students, vouchers make it harder on genuinely hardworking students and families.
Opinion #2
Debater: Jtaylor1

The Voucher System should be a good cause and enforcement of public edu.
The Voucher System should enforce high quality education. Electronic money (Verichip) will help the Voucher System abolish all religious beliefs and help make a better world. Public and private should shun the teachings of the Bible, the Torah, and the Quran and replace them with fundamental evolution and the enforcement of the Jedi religion. And Finally, making less students eligible for graduation because of their religious beliefs.

Welcome to YouDebateIt.com
This is the place for debate with an added element of friendly competition. This is a debating and essay resource and practice tool, not a debating society or club. There are no complicated rules, but these debates have structure. Each debate consists of a topic with two opposing views.

These are short essays limited to about 150-165 words. Present your strongest argument the first time, since you can't go back to change it--as with the National Forensic League and other speech and debate formats. Read these debates, then vote for your favorite arguments.

These debates are fun, informative and give exposure to all sides of the issues. Most debates will be archived (arguments that are obscene or offensive may be deleted). The better and more interesting debates will be featured.
