Vouchers would make for even more uneven and unfair distribution of education-

Vouchers would make it posible for students in the worst schools to escape and probably make distribution of education more fair and even and most likely more effcient.

Our public schools should be a number one priority, and fixing them for every child in America our number one goal.

Improving education across the country should be our number one goal. That doesn't necesarily mean that all this improvement will come through pulbic schools. A lot of it will have to because that is where most of the students are and you can't change a whole system of education over night, however the public schools themselves are likely to improve if they have to compete not only against current private schools, but against current public schools and any new schools that are set up to try to attract the students who's poor public schools don't improve in the face of competition.

A service, such as education, might be provided poorly by an entity that faces competition. However if it is then its customers will go to its competition. If the service is provided by a socialist monopoly then there is no competition, less pressure to improve, and no ability for the customers of the service to escape from poor providers.
