Summary:

The most prominent issue raised by education savings account legislation is whether the federal government should assist families whose children are educated in private schools or at home. Policy questions include what effect such assistance would have on public schools and student performance, and whether it would be constitutional. Concerns have also been expressed that legislation would create compliance problems and is most likely to benefit better-off families.
