There will be more bureaucracy- there will be the bureaucracy we have now- and there will be a new one to oversee all the money going to private schools receiving voucher money- or did you think that money would flow without anyone watching it? People watching = bureaucracy. Can't believe you missed that. Most of the bureaucracy is at the level of the schools. If schools are subject to competition they will reduce their level of bureaucracy. If it is a strong competition they will have to reduce it more then the amount that would be required to administer a voucher program. Look at private schools now. They are not in a highly competitive environment but they still have a lot less bureaucracy then public schools (esp. if you include the public schools share of the school district's bureaucracy). Special education, to be any good, will be highly individualized- this will always be less efficient than teaching "normal" students. It will be more expensive. That doesn't mean it is inefficient. If you can provide the same level of individualized instruction for 90 to 95% of the resources then efficiency will be increased but it will still be expensive. Tim
