I guess anyone can answer it. I'm just not sure how you could counter that. The good students go to where the good schools with the good teachers and high funding are. So how do you del with what's left?

Actually, I agree with you. In general I don't support school vouchers because I firmly believe that it does take away from public schools, leaving them with no incentive to do better.
The issue isn't a Christian or religious one, but about how we can reform our public school system. I know some folks hate to hear this, but I firmly believe that the downward spiral happened when discipline was taken out of the public school system. Coupled with lack of parental guidance/concern, it left teachers with no way to foster respect for who they are and their job nor with an effective way how to nip troublemakes in the bud from jump.
I mean seriously, its a sad day when grown people have to call the police to restrain a 5 year old child, because of fear of being accused of abuse/harm (because now, teachers can not touch or handle students even if its to protect themselves from harm).
This is just one of many factors though.
