The best and the brightest should be going to private schools, on scholarship if the family doesn't have the money.

The problem is scholarships are scarce. In some communities, they are nonexistent.

The parents of the best and brightest should be given vouchers so their kids can have true access to better education. For that matter, the parents of all kids should be given vouchers so their kids can have true access to better education.

In some communities private schools are non-existent. The "local" private school here is in the next county and from the stories I've heard about that school, the best and the brightest in the public schools here, particularly the HS kids, do not want to go there. Talk about a great big daycare center......

I totally support vouchers and not just to help bright kids - also to help ordinary kids and to disempower the teacher's unions who have a death grip on public education.
