Explanation:
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?

Why would the government pay to privatize Education?
Get real!
Currently, public schools that FAIL to handle a child's need, give scholarships to the child to pay for a private school of the parent's choice. Hmmm...Taxpayers are all ready paying for private schools. Unless the child being failed is gifted. The public school system won't give the intellegent child the scholarship. Go figure.
The voucher system would be issued per each child's percentage of the taxes collected for education. Then the parents would choose which school received this money. Gee. The concept of earning a paycheck might just be what this country needs to fix a failing system.
