Skeeter: The wealthy will send their kids to expensive schools with or without vouchers, that's not going to change. Why don't we buckle down and save the existing system? We don't have the leverage. As things are now, the big teacher unions and the bureaucrats that control the purse-strings have all the leverage. < if no other money is required then EVERYONE will go to private school and then they become public schools. > Exactly, but better, because they'll be more responsive. < because rich and middle class people don't wan their kids around poor kids. > I'm sure some don't, but I think many welcome the diversity...if their kids are getting a good education. In fact, I'm sure many would consider exposing their children to a diverse group of people to be a part of a good education.
