The problem with vouchers is that private schools generally can't be forced to take students. What would presumably happen is that students would bring their vouchers to private schools; the private schools would cherry-pick the best students; and the worst students, who presumably need the most educational help, would be left in the bad school. If you made open admission a condition of the voucher program, the best private schools would never join. They already have tons of students who want to get in, even without a voucher program.
