Exactly. If the parents don't give enough of a rat's ass to make sure the kids are showing up to school to begin with, are they really going to care enough to investigate a voucher program?

If there are horrible students in your child's school, ruining the environment for the students who do want to succeed, encourage the school to start cracking down and expel those who need expelled. Now that everyone is entitled to an education, it seems like it's of little or no value to many people.
