Instead of going to the source (Killing the Dept of Education and giving control back to local communities) they have to come up with another big-government "conservative" program.
Vouchers are nothing but trojan horses.

Bingo! Or haven't you forgotten this:

"Over the course of an hour-long meeting with Ed Gillespie, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, we took great care to give him every opportunity to explain himself fully so that nothing could be misunderstood. The result was a surprisingly frank admission that the Republican Party defines “fiscal responsibility” as increasing the federal budget at “a slower rate of growth” than the Democrats (his words).
We asked him three times to explain why President Bush and the Republican Congress have increased discretionary non-defense spending at such an alarming rate, and why the party has embraced the expansion of the federal government’s roles in education, agriculture and Great Society-era entitlement programs.
“Those questions have been decided,” was his response. The public wants an expanded federal role in those areas, and the Republican Party at the highest levels has decided to give the public what it wants."

Very typically Republican, indeed! They should be killing the Department of Education, exactly!
They make me sick!
Kill the NEA.
EEE:
The first step to returning our schools is to create a mindset that says that local communities and individual families CAN school their own children.
I get your point, but I think this a way to get people more accustomed to (and more interested in) localization and privitization.

Just my two cents . . . .
Your idea is good, but it can't be done all at once. The only way to end the government school monopoly is for individual Americans to stop using public schools. Happily, things are beginning to move in that direction.
Are you familiar with the expression, "Rome wasn't built in a day"?
Though I was initially inclined to support vouchers (at the Federal level), I have to agree with you--they will just create more problems than they solve. The solution is to return more control to the states and local districts, who can then experiment with vouchers and other market-based solutions without the complication of Federal involvement.
