One response shows one of the biggest potential problems for any wide spread vouches scheme --- 12. Public vouchers for private shchools will decimate private schooling. Once private schools are addicted to public funding, the state can continue to add constraints to that funding bit by bit until there is no difference between most public and private schools. Do you think the state and the public education lobby will have less power over private schools when private schools start taking big chunks of public funding, or will they have more power? Do you suppose they'll use that power better than they've used the power they already have? Public funding is what makes public schools public. Public vouchers are an efficient way to decimate private schooling. Posted by John T. Kennedy \| October 29, 2007 8:24 PM
