The poor are not going to make education their priority. The poor schools will be filled with poor students with poor education until they get an education that is BETTER than someone that is rich to even put them on par.
I don't care if the voucher is for a million dollars, the parents that will care enough about their kid's education will not be the poor and they will not move their children to those other schools. In the meantime, those public schools were there were even a few parents that cared with some good students will become awful schools where no student or parent cares. So all you've done is expand the class divide and create a bunch of criminals that will break into my summer home and try and kill me.
