It should be interesting to see how this plays out--considering that the US Supreme Court has already ruled that voucher programs are legal (despite the fact that some parents would opt to use the voucher to send their kids to parochial / religious schools) see: Zelman v Harris http://supct.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/00-1751.ZS.html |
i think vouchers are good because parents that actually give a shit about parenting, being a great parent and care about raising their kids right, can seperate their kids from the rest and give them the chance to excel.
