Re: "Couldn't a student abandon an under-performing public school, and take his voucher to a better public school?" One of the fallacies of the voucher system is that a kid in a failing inner-city public school could use government money to enroll at a suburban school. As a whole, suburban schools don't want inner-city voucher students. In Florida, where the voucher system has been tried, only 8 percent of the schools in the state accepted voucher students. Vouchers are another "sounds-good" Republican program that fails the practical-use litmus test.
