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?

Private school stigma?
In this country, attending a private school is generally viewed as a privilege. No one is fighting to get their kids into the public schools. You may have to survive metal detectors, drug dealers and gangs and be tough at public schools--but you certainly don't have to learn much to get out.
If the funding for the student went with the student, the school's would have incentive to improve. Right now, public schools don't have to do anything except meet minimal requirements. If you're in a good school district, great. If you're not, too bad.
