Ustwo, yes that would solve that problem. I dunno, after re reading this thread there are alot of good points in favor. If all it did was "de-regulate" education and give consumers a choice based on quality alone vouchers would be great. But, if somehow schools could choose who they accept or if there were stipulations for admission I think that would be very bad,basically the situstion nanofever brought up.

Please explain how more money will cure parents who don't give a damn.
I would say that this is the real issue though. Schools can only do so much in thier 6 hours a day. And what about the 5 years of a kids life before they even enter school? If those 5 years are spent neglected and parked in front of a TV they will be playing catch up for years no matter how much time or money is invested into them by the school . I think insted of vouchers we should give parents extra money if thier kids are at a certain level when they enter kindergarden.
