I'm probably a week late in responding - but vouchers will undermine our public schools but "no child left behind" works well and if "they" don't like it them they can fare for themselves

Add a few commas in there:).
I'm not sure if you're saying if no child left behind is good or bad. No Child Left Behind has a few good points, but has many other points that need addressing before it is a good law. It does seem like just another attempt by big government to control local schools ( many of the conservative politicians in my state don't like it). I could elaborate and write a novel on some of the aspects of it, but basically it does set up many schools to fail, without addressing the real issues. I prefer to call it No Child's behind left. My state almost pulled out of it, but couldn't do without the federal funds in the lowest funded state in the nation.

And yes, vouchers do undermine public schools too.
