Making K-12 education payments a full tax deduction might be a better solution. Any temporary solution to end the current system works for me though.

I agree. I have never seen vouchers as an endgame but as the first step. A tax credit is better and making it a state rather then a federal tax credit is better yet. But that is not an option right now. You take what you can get and build from there.
It is like calling for higher standards for schools. It would be nice if high school students could discuss Shakespeare, compose eloquent essays and do calculus. But if they could just read, write and do basic math it would be an improvement that I would accept as a wonderful first step.
In my department out of 16 people there is not one who knows how to calculate a cumulative average. Half can not even calculate an average for a range of ten numbers. And every single blessed one of them is a high school graduate.
