<p>I’m aware of how vouchers work. (that sounds snippy and I do not mean it that way. I am currently studying to become a special education teacher and have done a lot of research on this issue recently.)</p>
<p>My point remains the same. It’s a lifeboat and they are limited by definition. I attended private high school and the instruction was superior. It was superior because they could pick and choose their students. How are we going to improve education for those students?</p>
<p>As I said, I am not against vouchers in theory. But unless there is a rise in funds for the public schools, the schools that are going to be educating the students that private schools can decline, then I cannot support it. It’s disgraceful the way magnet and voucher programs are held up as success stories in public education when no mention is made of what is happening to the majority of the students in that public educational system. Life boats work, got it. Where is the activism for the rest of the students in the system?</p>
