I am against vouchers because they would destroy the private school system. Now private schools can pick the students they want to admit and those they want to allow to remain, while public schools must admit every one that applies . With vouchers they become public school with the same admission criteria. Ask any P.S, teacher how this works out.QED the present article.

What private school system? There are very few private schools in this country and for most people, public school is the only game in town.
Not always. Our local school district has a group of "magnet" schools. Families must apply for acceptance into the magnet program if they want to attend. Acceptance is based on academic achievement. Many students are declined outright; others can sit on a waiting list for a year or two before a slot opens.
