Some politicians in the US want to give money to families. This money is for school help. Families can use it to send their children to private schools. This is a new idea to use government money for private schools.

The plan helps families choose a different school for their children. Almost all families can get help, unless they earn a lot of money.

Some people like school vouchers. They think families in bad schools need more choices.

Parents can choose good schools for their children. This helps the (American Dream). Bill Cassidy, a senator, said this. He had a similar idea.

People give money or shares to the program. They get money back on their taxes.

People did not like the plan. They said it would help rich people and hurt schools for most students. They said it was a way for smart people to pay less tax and make money like it was a gift.

The government gives less money to schools.

This is a big problem, said Sasha. She said some places give school money to families who already pay for private school. She said this is bad because it wastes money and people cheat.

School programs that help pay for private school are growing fast in states like Texas. People who like public schools are worried.
