Vouchers are a fix for the current system. With a national system we loose a lot of special interest groups. We get standard testing controlled at the higher national level. I see the cabinet of Education position becoming what it is meant to be.

We have standardized testing, provided by the private sector. The SAT, ACT, GRE and others are quite effective measures of ability and achievement. Just get the public schools out of the picture, and you'll see similar nationally recognized tests emerging at the earlier grade levels. We do NOT need a standardized curriculum.

I want to put education back in the hands of all the citizens of the USA.

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things is not the same...
