In essence it would be a full reboot. No real union control. Schools compete for the students and money. Some schools may insist on extra money to attend them and the parents could use the voucher as a credit. No inflated school boards, administrators, etc. Market should then determine who survives.

I like the idea of smaller schools being able to open and focus on their students. I still wonder if there would be enough of these types of schools to cover all the students that are out there. I have always said that one of the reasons private school work is because they are not dealing with the massive amounts of students that the public schools do. Maybe vouchers would help change the system for the better, but I fear that they would cause there to be either very good schools or very bad schools and we would end up with a bunch of kids that get very poor educations simply because of where they live.
I do think the system needs to be cleansed. It is so bloated and full of garbage that money just gets lost in the system and nobody seems to be able to explain where it goes.
