would have the choice where to
send their children. The parent
— not the government — is
making the independent deci-
sion."
Vouchers would be awarded
on a four-year basis, with eligi-
bility determined by each state.
Parents could use the money for
tuition and other school fees, for
transportation to and from
school, and for supplementary
academic services such as a tu-
tor or after-school programs.
Advocates say the G.I. Bill for
Children will result in an im-
proved educational system and
better students. Their financial
concerns lessened, middle- and
lower-income families could en-
joy what the wealthy have had
for years: the chance to study at
the school of their choice. And,
with additional government
funding channeled through the
vouchers, schools also would ben-
efit.
Among the bill's biggest sup-
porters are Catholics, whose
schools comprise some two-
thirds of all private elementary
students, according to the U.S.
Department of Education. The
average tuition at Catholic
schools is $1,327 a year, with
$1,915 the average for all private
schools.
But the Jewish community
also stands to benefit, the Agu-
da's Mr. Zwiebel says.
Annual tuition at Jewish day
schools nationwide runs into the
thousands, with $4,000 the av-
erage in Detroit. Some parents
would prefer a Jewish education,
but send their children to public
schools solely because of finan-
cial considerations.
Furthermore, Jewish day
schools often are strapped for
funds because of the large num-
ber of scholarships they grant.
The G.I. Bill vouchers could help
alleviate some of this burden, ad-
vocates say.
NJCRAC's Diana Aviv, how-
ever, believes benefits to the Jew-
ish community would be
minimal. About 80 percent of
Jewish parents send their chil-
dren to public schools, which
"would be weakened" by imple-
mentation of the GI Bill for Chil-
dren, she said.
Akiva Hebrew Day School
Headmaster Rabbi Zeev Shi-
mansky supports the voucher
system, which "would be very
helpful both to schools and par-
ents who pay public school tax-
es but get nothing from them."
Secular education must be
supported, he said. "But the
rights of the religious also should
be safeguarded."
He said he does not see a con-
flict between the separation of
church and state and the GI Bill.
"Denial of religion was never
the view of the founding fathers,"
he said rather, the Constitution
stresses that the state should
adopt no one specific religion.
