Noe, I think you wanted to respond to my comment, not yours, right?

If so, let me describe a hypothetical, but a plausible scenario.

Say I had a 14 year old daughter, and lived in Kalihi.  My wife and I together earn $80,000 a year, and we prefer that she attend a school other than Farrington.

My daughter wants to attend, and qualifies for, St Andrews' Priory.  But I cannot afford the full tuition of $18,000.

If I could get a voucher worth, say $10,000, which would represent the cost of a public high school year, I would be able to to pay the $8,000 difference.  It'd be a struggle, but I'm willing to sacrifice.

Why would that choice be denied to me, or more importantly, my daughter?
