An important question this article ignores, is why private school vouchers are chosen over public schools?

      Since they’d still have public school, their situation would stay the same but it would improve the education of millions of poor minority children.

      I think that’s a good thing.

          Or it improves. It’s their choice. Right now public schools have a monopoly and vouchers break that monopoly. They can either improve or fail.

          Either way the children benefit with a better education and that is what is important.

              We’ve already done in to inner city kids since the 1970’s.

              I am a big advocate the education is the way to solve income disparity. The solution isn’t wealth distraction. It’s making sure every child has a quality education.

              Also when you first start there will be a limit to capacity. The private schools around today would be the ones children could attend. It’s take awhile to get a school up and certified. Overnight there would be little change and over years it’d make a positive outcome.
