Do your homework and get back to me.
Personally, I oppose the voucher system. I want spending in the public school system cut down to a bare minimum and school taxes lowered drastically so that private and parochial schools are allowed to thrive.
If programs are cut drastically in the public school system, and D.C. parents in the poorest districts still choose the public school system, who cares? That’s their choice.
I noticed this discussion keeps referring to public schools as if all are in poor, inner cities. There are public schools in middle-class and wealthy townships across the country, too. I guarantee you that, if public schools in the wealthy communities were cut down to the bare minimum, most of those parents would put their kids into private schools. Government-funded education is not necessary everywhere.
