I would like to see a test of the Republican plan done before it is implemented universally.
Sounds good to me. Actually I'd like a more radical experimet, say in a county or state:
1. The available education funds are divided up into vouchers. Parents get one voucher per child.
2. Parents can use vouchers to send their kids to any schools they wish. They can supplement them with their own funds.
3. Public school buildings are sold to private parties. Most of them would most likely be used as private schools.

The problem is that when the word "vouchers" is used, the teachers' unions declare all-out war. So far they've been successful in defending their perks and turf.
