Then the better students leave and you are left with schools full of bad students, students with parents who don't care, underfunded schools, etc.

Not always. I was a voucher kid (because I moved in 9th grade but always had attended the school... I would have just used my brother or friend's address anyways) and I hated this system.

Why? Because our school is one of the top in our area. We had a good reputation (still do) and everyone who went there had a lot of pride in the school and the city. Except the school of choice students (what we called voucher students) who transferred in from other districts, crowded our halls, and were in detention or suspended half the time.

Of course there were those who were actually good students but the majority of school of choice students were those who had either gotten kicked out of their previous school or whose parents actually did care and put them into our district hoping that something positive would happen.

sorry off topic
