Should Cities and States Adopt School Voucher Programs?

Should Cities and States Adopt School Voucher Programs?

School vouchers come in many forms, but all of them would provide parents with money to spend on the schools of their choice. We all want to provide our children with the best education possible -- but are voucher programs tools of change or misguided panaceas?

    In the rational critical-thinking universe, everyone loves vouchers

    "In the right-wing Bizarro Universe, everyone loves vouchers."

    It isn't JUST Conservatives that care about the fact that US schools are falling far behind:

    "Here in the real world, people hate the idea."

    Then they probably aren't in the real world.

    "Responding to this, voucher booster Patrick Byrne asserted that the people of Utah must be stupid."

    After reading the following quote I think he might be right:

    "They are smart for refusing to pay taxes to support a private system that is not accountable to the public and that can kick your child out for any reason -- including that he or she is the "wrong" religion."

    If they did that they would LOSE MONEY and possibly go OUT OF BUSINESS.
