Where has the Voucher System been effective exactly?
The Voucher System as outlined by it's creator, Milton Friedman, has never been tried... anywhere. So we cannot say how effective it's been.

The voucher systems that have been implemented are designed to allow mobility for kids in failing school districts. Friedman said that for vouchers to work they have to be available to EVERYONE. It's not supposed to be a tool for equality or social engineering. It's designed to introduce free market forces into K-12 which historically is FAR from free market.

this is what i was saying ... throwing a few charters in there does not equal "choice" ...

indiana has probably made the biggest step towards vouchers, but i haven't read anything on them in a while ...
