Thanks for the ping. I'm not a supporter of the voucher system, but I have to admit it would beat the current system and force the public schools into competition. (I'd just rather see complete privatization of all education, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for that to happen). :-)

After watching that 20/20 special on How America is failing its schools recently... I was pleased to hear that in places where vouchers are allowed, both the voucher schools (charter or private) and the public schools perform better.

However, after watching ALL of that program, I have no doubt at all (and neither does my husband after watching it), that home schooling our littlest is the best and most important decision WE can make for her. A lot would have to happen in the education system of this country for me to entrust my child to it. Mainly dissolving the teachers' union so the kids have a fighting chance to learn.
