Which, as you said, is the current situation, so we end up no worse off.


I'm not so sure about that. Yes, there would be rich schools and poor schools, but the proportion would have changed. Only the really rich will be able to thumb their noses at the vouchers and send their kids to the rich schools. The majority of people who are in the relatively rich schools now will be sending their kids to the poor schools, the ones that take vouchers. Maybe not quite as poor, but definitely not in a class with what the rich schools offer now.

It might be easier, quicker, and cheaper to fix what we have. If vouchers are a primarily socioeconomic issue rather than a religious issue, then we don't need to send a couple of generations of kids down some garden path only to end up with mediocre schools again.
