No, the pro vouchers people need to go to the private sector for their funds, since it’s so much more efficient. /

A typical high school spends upwards of $10K per student per year. If vouchers cost less, then the public schools get a bargain of sorts. We have long since decided that it is unwise to leave the cost of education to parents alone. Too many cannot afford to give their children a reasonable education out of their own pockets.

If the public schools do not offer a reasonable education, then maybe somebody else will. That’s where vouchers come in. You may say, why not fix the public schools? But when that’s been tried, and it’s failed, and failed, and failed, it’s time to try something else.
