I'm wondering about that, too. I admit that I don't completely understand the whole voucher thing, despite having some education classes that touched on this issue. But...if we start letting everyone switch schools, including the problem students, wouldn't the "better" schools start going downhill? And then what? What would happen to the "bad" schools if all the students left to go to other schools? Would the other schools become overcrowded with all these new students? Is there a limit to the number of new students a "better" school has to take? I would love it if someone could explain this to me...it's sad that I'm going into education and I don't know.
