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.

This about sums it up. Take for example the DC voucher program. Most of the private schools were charging HALF what the public schools were charging per student. The private schools had way higher test scores at HALF the cost.
The free market was proving to provide a better education at a lower cost.
So of course the logical thing for the dems and Obama to do is STOP the voucher program.
