Vouchers... so flawed... what they do is take money out of the public school systems that need it most. Yes, it gets some kids out of bad schools. But it also makes it WORSE for the ones who are left! Think about it, less students means less money... so it's a bad system, for the vast majority of people. The other problem with them is that it's public funding of religion, because most private schools are religious and I don't think any voucher laws are restricted to just being able to choose between other public schools within some range, and public funding of religion is a bad thing. Taxpayer dollars should not be going to teach children religious doctrines! But as I said the religion issue isn't the only problem with vouchers.

No, that's no solution at all. What needs to be done is some kind of major education reform that gets the schools that need money money. But in this country, such things seem quite unlikely...
