cb, i asked two different school voucher supporters whether they would support a phased in voucher program beginning with the financially neediest students and nobody answered whether they would support it.

benefits:

1. public schools would have time to react to a change in admissions.
2. private schools would have time to react to changes in admissions.
3. public school system would be in competition and have time to positively react to such competition.
4. education as a whole would be improved.

costs:

1. well off and middle class kids wouldn't get an immediate benefit of reduced private school tuition.

my belief is that the single cost is enough to scare most people away from the many benefits. a wholesale swap would be disasterous for the avg public school. this is an important issue unless you don't have to deal with public schools AND you don't care about those that do.
