Where would the schools, and more particularly, the teachers, come from for your voucher system?
The quality of a school is determined by the quality of its students.

55000 teachers if paid by merit would all be fired.
Parents prefer accuracy ( 2+2=4) rather than self esteem training.
(2 + 2 = 8 but you tried so hard Johnny so it is OK)
Just give us vouchers and all the class rooms will be rubber rooms.
No students

Only one out of 10 disbarments is permanent since most states permitted disbarred lawyers to get their licenses back. What’s remarkable about New York City’s microscopic rate of dismissal for school teachers is that there is at least one occupation whose practitioners have less job jeopardy than lawyers. If it is true, as most lawyers claim, that their profession’s odious reputation is the fault of a small minority which besmirches the whole profession, then the solution would seem to be to kick that small minority out. If you don’t want to stink, shoot all the skunks. Unfortunately, it seems that most lawyers would rather stink because shooting the skunks takes too much effort.

I think that is 13 that fall to the level of the administration being willing to take the pain to rubberize them.

Amazing how little it takes to coopt a government.
This is the future for the union movement.
