The value of using vouchers is good if for no
other reason than it prevents the teacher’s
unions from holding a monopoly on education.

In time, when the union has a monopoly, wages
spiral up and buildings and books spiral down.
The number of teachers employed stays the same
or increases regardless of enrollment. Lower
pupil-teacher ratio becomes the big issue
when the union faces lower enrollment.

Take a look at what the UAW/CAW did with a
monopoly position in regards to the Detroit
Three. Only difference until now was that
the teachers could rely on tax dollars and
not results to stay afloat while the auto
makers could not.
