I found your post very thoughtful. This is one point I had never considered: "Right now a private school that is not religious has no viable economic base except the very rich. Vouchers have the potential to change that in a dramatic way."

Perhaps you would comment on a more basic question--why should education be fully funded by the taxpayer rather than some combination of taxpayer and parent? And what proportion of a child's education bill do you think would end up being paid by the parents in an environment where the voucher system was fully implemented?

I saw that earlier. Excellent post. How come you get this issue right, but the DP wrong? :-)

Many excellent points in there. One that struck me is your comment that quality education is currently rationed GEOGRAPHICALLY- -it depends on what particular school disrict you live in and what part of that district. Effectively this is the same as economic rationing- -exactly the situation many voucher opponents deplore.
