Actually, I agree with you. In general I don't support school vouchers because I firmly believe that it does take away from public schools, leaving them with no incentive to do better.

The issue isn't a Christian or religious one, but about how we can reform our public school system. I know some folks hate to hear this, but I firmly believe that the downward spiral happened when discipline was taken out of the public school system. Coupled with lack of parental guidance/concern, it left teachers with no way to foster respect for who they are and their job nor with an effective way how to nip troublemakes in the bud from jump.

I mean seriously, its a sad day when grown people have to call the police to restrain a 5 year old child, because of fear of being accused of abuse/harm (because now, teachers can not touch or handle students even if its to protect themselves from harm).

This is just one of many factors though.

I don't know. I saw West Side Story. I don't think they knew how to discipline kids back then.
