See, that's the problem right there Art. Blaming someone. Why do we have to blame anyone in order to recognize areas of improvement in education and do something about it? In the sixties, we still hadn't come to grips with the problems in public education. Today, we have far more data to learn from. Experiments have been tried and in nearly every case, poor children have been helped by vouchers. The idea is to help children get a better education, not create an atmosphere of ideological divide and assess "who's to blame". People who have closed their mind to a tool, such as vouchers, are being blinded by their ideology. Vouchers are no panacea, but under the right circumstance they can create an atmosphere where excellence sweeps across the city or school district. Urgency is needed. Every year that passes without change, we lose another thousand or more children to the cycle of ignorance. Reading is the New Civil Right
