I don't see how reducing funding for the public schools is going to attract better teachers.

Scumbria, Harry didn't say "we should reduce funding for public schools." He supported the idea of vouchers (or actually he asked you why you don't support it). Vouchers might be spent in public schools. If they are not spent in public schools they don't reduce public support for education. If the student goes somewhere else then the other school will have the cost to educate him not the public schools. And at least assuming the vouchers are large enough, both schools will have an incentive to try to provide a good quality education to attract customers. I see you statement as the equivalent of "I don't see how reducing Intel's revenue by buying AMD chips instead of Intel will enable Intel to improve their product". Intel now sells better chips at lower prices then they would have if AMD did not become a serious competitor.
