One thing I'm hearing: many of these parents who intend well and send these black kids to better schools are in for an uphill battle. With absentee fathers and being surrounded by entitlement and ghetto hate, this innocent sweet kids turn angry and "thuggish".

That's the sad part: this issue is the ghetto culture. These kids have to be completely removed from it. No "education" solution can fix this.

That's the other thing. Voucher system or no voucher system, no government program can fix the home life.

The home and supporting family/community environment will make up about 90 percent of whether a student fails or is successful.

That's why I don't see the LA voucher program as being some huge, vast game-changer overall; however, I do like the idea that those parents, single moms or not, have the possibility to get their child out of a gutter public school and try an alternative one.
