CK: re vouchers, so sorry to disappoint but my current views(always subject to change) come not from reading the papers but from talking to teachers, who from time to time are my customers/clients. Offerring vouchers to all at the same time will cause a natual flight to quality with all eligible parents competing for space against all others. As quality is identified over time, they will garner more resources to get even better. Quality teachers will pursue higher paying jobs at better funded schools. Totally natural.

Solution? Heck, I don't know. Issueing vouchers in a staggered selective fashion combined with targeted funding might at least give some of the now underfunded schools a fighting chance to improve before the parents vote with their feet.
