ponent of the need for parents' choice
in where they send their children to
school, Wagenheim insists that isn't
always possible.
"Private schools operate on a different
level and can admit whoever they like,"
she said. "It's not a parent's choice."
Attendee Yetta Pomerantz's opinion
before the event wasn't swayed any, but
she was disappointed in the lack of rep-
resentation from other ethnic groups.
"I know the format was primarily
how vouchers would work in the
Jewish community, but I would have
liked to know other opinions on it,"
said the Farmington Hills resident.
Pomerantz has two children who
were educated in public schools and
no grandchildren, yet turned up for
the event anyway. "It's not emotion to
me because I'm beyond having kids in
school, but it still interests me," she
said. "I was disappointed in the small
numbers there because it's a pretty hot
topic these days."
Only one-fourth of the chairs set
up in Shiffman Hall were filled for the
event. Wagenheim attributes the lack
of attendance to apathy. "People with
school-age children aren't here because
they don't care until it hits their pock-
etbook," she said.
Pomerantz said that had she decid-
ed to send her children to private
school, she'd have paid for it out of
her own pocket.
John Mayer of West Bloomfield
senses a bias towards keeping the sta-
tus quo. "People don't want change
because they don't know where the
future will lie," said the West
Bloomfield resident, who is pro-
voucher. "I believe that you have the
right to take your own money and
spend it how you want."
Mayer pointed out that coming out
of military service, money from the
G.I. Bill can be spent at whatever
school the person chooses, a point val-
idated by Taylor.
Wagenheim countered with "there's a
huge difference between kindergarten
through 12th grade mandatory educa-
tion and a voluntary college education."
Berman, a teacher before spending
time in the state legislature, was con-
cerned with the loss of money to the
state school aid fund. With 175,000
kids in private schools and nearly a
$5,500 per child allotment, she esti-
mated a loss of $962.5 million per
year from the school budget of
approximately $12 billion.
"No matter how much is put in,
we're short," Berman said. "Taking
money away is a drain on everyone." n
