Look third, who are you to deny a child and a parent the choice not to have the opportunity to an education. You see you look at society and I look at individuals. America is about giving individuals the right to opportunity. I don't and you don't know if more or less individuals will be hurt or helped in fact. But common sense says the when the efficient and smart are given the resources that the do more and produce more results. So for those who are stupid in failing public schools maybe they should be made to pay 10% fo their salary to take classes on how to teach from the schools that do know how to teach. Schools do not do well or poorly. Individuals are provided with an education, the foundation of opportunity or they are cheated. You wish to fund the cheating status quo and I think that a voucher kick in the head may wake up a few cheats. You see the reality is that in large cities there is a massive bureaucracy of hands that sap the resources. I'd rather pay a dollar in vouchers than 10.75 to a bureaucracy for .25 cents of education. tom watson tosiwmee
