How long before the government requires certain accrediation of schools accepting vouchers? What about teacher training? What about hiring practices and civil rights?...

If a school is failing, parents simply won't send their kids there. If they do, it's their choice.
If they don't like something about a school, they don't have to go there. They can choose another.
For example; Christian schools don't have to allow Sodomites. That's their religious views. If sodomites don't like it, they can go to the public schools they've created or open their own. . It's a choice.
Look at homeschools. Parents, who are not accredited, are kicking the public schools butt! Accredation is an NEA thing. They invented that, not the parents. Actually, nonaccreditated parents are doing a better job.

First of all, replace "accreditation" for my error in spelling.

Secondly, do you really think that private schools will be able to withstand suits brought by teachers who believe there has been discrimination in hiring practices at a govenment funded (and, therefore, no longer) private school?

And, how will private schools be able to maintain private school admissions standards? Won't they be "discriminating" if they don't take a student with "special needs" or with a "disciplinary record"?

And, if, as is the case in Florida, the students are required to take the state "assessment," who really controls the curriculum?
