The key here is that it is D.C. schools. In any other city you would see a difference.

They've done similar studies in Milwaukee, New York City, and I believe Cleveland, with rather mixed results.

I don't think any of the studies has shown a definite advantage for vouchers, but I do know that in Milwaukee, for instance, there was a lot of fraud in some of the private schools, which might have skewed the results.

On the other hand, if vouchers were used nationwide, I think there would continue to be lots of fraud in some of the private schools, so maybe that's not such a skew after all....

Now you’ve got me curious. What kind of fraud are you talking about in private schools?

I don’t know whether vouchers are working or not, but I do know for certain that home schooling is FAR better than public schools. I would NEVER send a child to a public school these days.
