Vouchers are nothing but trojan horses.

sorry your living in a dream world .. government education will always be here and teachers unions are making sure of that... school vouchers is not the end all be all to solving our nations education problem, but its a good start to try and correct the mistakes... the vouchers create competition among schools, thus raising the quality of education.... if free enterprise has taught us anything, competition is the only way to achieve greatness.

the vouchers create competition among schools

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Element, I completely agree with you but it ticks me off how the Republicans go about it.

The Republicans should be working on this on the state level. And the on the federal level they should be abolishing the Department of Education.

...school vouchers is not the end all be all to solving our nations education problem, but its a good start to try and correct the mistakes.

When the government gets into the business of providing something that parents are unwilling to pay for themselves then why shouldn't the govenrment have a say over where their money is going? Why shouldn't the government be able to tell the schools what to teach and how to teach it? Who they must let in and who they cannot keep out? And if the government can do all that then how long before all private schools are at the same level as public schools?
