I disagree. With the long waiting lists for vouchers, tax credits, and especially charter schools the pressure will mount on legislators to increase school choice.

The Milton Friedman Foundation has been polling in states throughout the nation. The statistics are in the **single** digits for parents who would choose government school instead of private, home, or charter school.

That's not a particularly useful statistic. I would choose a Ferrari over my Explorer, all other things being equal. But that's not the real world.
