In the country, a voucher system is useless. In the city, I am not sure. So people move their kids and take their money from a bad school to a good school...so the good schools get richer and probably not better, while the bad schools get less money and worse, making it even worse for the students that are there. who pays for the movements of kids from one place to another? while the ideal is to use competition to make schools better, does it just make a bigger divide between the haves and have nots? Shouldn't the goal of an education system be to make everyone better?
