“Schools in urban areas will continue to – to put it bluntly – suck, because the voucher amounts will not be sufficient to bring about good alternatives to a public school system.”
The idea there is no money in the public school system, and that if this fund of billions of dollars were in the control of the parents that contribute it (along with real estate owners who are not parents) they could not spend it better than the self-interested unions that spend it now, is ludicrous. Choice is better. Being slaves to unions with tenure is worse. Making it a condition that every school take its fair share of special needs children — problem solved. Competition beats monopoly. Economics 101.
