You believe in the voucher system because you could afford it. The voucher is just for a certain amount of time and then the public school system that the child went to is to pay for it. That cuts teachers pay AND jobs. Not good. When the school cannot pay, the child is then back to the public school. This is competetion bewteen for-profit schools that hurts the free education that this country NEEDS.

Compitition between schools will force each school to produce results. Right now there is no inherint motivation for a school to show positive educational results. Each public school gets paid the same from the government no matter if your child is a success or a failure.

If each child is given a voucher to pay for their education (provided by the government) then the student (ie parents) can choose to leave a failing school and place their student (and money) in a better functioning school. It would motivate schools. It would also increase the pay for quality teachers as they come more in demand since every school is going to want to employ teachers that are able to produce educational results.
