re: Where has the Voucher System been effective exactly?

Sadly a large number of these schools are hastily organized store front enterprises designed to make a quick buck and often teaching some quack religious curriculum.

Part of this in BR is due to the regulations on the vouchers. For instance, private schools are not allowed to interview and offer admission to voucher students. The school must tell the State how many voucher students the school can take and then the State selects the student.

Top notch private schools aren't going to allow that. It needs to be a true "hands off" approach by government.

And the willingness of parents to send their kids to hastily created schools does not speak well to the state of public education in our area.
