I don't get it. If you had a voucher to send your kid anywhere, wouldn't everyone send their kid to the best school? Also, what is the incentive for a school to compete for more students?

The better schools are going to get the children, and other schools are going to have to shape up to get the students back and keep the ones they have. What's in it for the schools? Uhh, revenues? Jobs?

Might help if I explain the "voucher" idea a little more. You still pay your taxes, but then the government gives parents say $9000 if that's what they're paying per child at public schools. The parents then take that $9000 and then choose what school's best for their child. The schools need funds to survive, so they'd have to improve the curriculum and environment.


whoa.
