You're telling me that private schools, when given $13,500 per student can't perform better??
The US Dept of Ed is lying.

I’M SHOCKED !!!
P.S.: How about we ask all these voucher parents if they want to return to their old school before we trash the program?
I’d like to run an elementary school with say 11,000 per student. 22-23 in a room. Teachers would be well paid and we’d have math and english tutors.
Could be, but I'm not sure why they would be. This program was passed by the GOP congress specifically in hopes of proving that vouchers worked, and it's George W. Bush's education department studying it.

You either missed the point of the study, or you’ve not made your point clearly.
Many of the students paying 13.5 are doing better, namely the ones that are NOT there on vouchers. The study has looked at the kids using the vouchers and determined that they (not all of the students) are doing little better in their voucher school than they were doing in the public school. The students NOT there on vouchers ARE performing better.
The first sentence of the linked article makes it clear that the ones NOT doing better are the participants in the voucher program, not the general population of the private school.
No amount of money can improve the performance of many failing students if their parents don't give a damn.
