Allow primary and secondary school choice with vouchers and US primary and secondary education would become competitive quickly.

Yes, provided that the vouchers or tax credits would eventually lead to **complete** and total privatization and **complete** separation of school and state. That means parents pick up the entire bill and charity funds the poor.

On the college level, the problem with the Pell Grant vouchers is that every time the voucher is increased, the colleges and universities raise their tuition. This means the more and more of the middle classes must look to the government for a voucher to pay the tuition, and students are burdened with more debt that the voucher doesn't cover.

If we have vouchers for K-12 education we **will** see the ***same** thing! Private school tuition will continually increase.

I support vouchers but only as a stop-gap measure. The only permanent solution is complete separation of school and state.

The key difference you are missing is that public schools don't have tuition at the primary and secondary level. So if the competition, good public schools, and they will be improving to keep or attract students, are not going up in price, the private primary and secondary schools will not be able to raise price as much as the colleges and universities do.
