I used to think giving vouchers to kids in bad schools so they could go to private schools was the answer. Not anymore. Most of the kids in bad schools are troublemakers. In my experience, surrounding bad students with good students doesn’t make the bad student better. Just the opposite. The bad student/troublemaker makes the good students bad. Like a barrel of apples. Drop a rotten apple in the barrel and it’s not long before the whole barrel is rotten. Flooding private schools with bad students in the hope they will change will destroy private schools.

I agree. I have totally changed my mind about vouchers after considering the matter more and reading about some of the potential ramifications. I believe that that’s why the elite on the left have opposed them all along, but they of course would never put it in those terms.

Except private schools can kick their butt out if they are troublemakers.

As the saying goes, when you mix dirty water with clear water you get dirty water.
