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.

Ideally though if you end up with some bad schools, someone or company would step in to put out a better school that showed positive results. People would be motivated by money.
There still is a small chance there could be certain areas with schools that are not as good. This can always happen. Though currently if you live in a bad district you are fucked anyways right now unless you move. Just hopefully there would be enough smaller schools and people wanting to run a good business (school) that it would fill any gaps.
I do know we have a whole slew of charter schools up here. Next to none is union. Many are in older rented churches, previously closed schools, and some even in older shopping centers. Some of these schools only have room for 20-30 students max. The way they are paid is a bit different than vouchers. Yet most of the ones up here have been getting rave reviews. They also have been stable with the financial issues, with only one having any worries about layoff's (which they fixed in a way no union would ever allow).
