I don't know the specifics of McCain's plan, and I'm not big on vouchers, but I don't think the idea of giving kids other options should be dismissed as giving up on public schools. The fact is that when school communities stop placing blame and commit to doing whatever it takes to see achievement, inner-city schools have to work much longer and more strategically than other schools do. Public districts aren't just going to start making sure that happens as long as they have a "monopoly" on poor families.
