You've given some extreme examples. Most private schools don't cost anywhere near what your have referenced. Most Catholic schools I have been familiar with in Louisiana charge 5,000-9,000 per student. Any school charging upwards of $12,000 per student probably wouldn't participate in a voucher program of any type.

Most of the problems with vouchers are due to the implementation and restrictions, not the voucher system itself.

In Louisiana, I think you had to sign up for the system and take whoever they sent you. This caused some problems. For regular paying students, the schools were able to have testing and an interview process, but not voucher kids. This caused many schools to lose interest.

The voucher in La is only ~$4k which is the same as the MFP money public schools receive from the fed. It doesn't cover all of the other costs of going to a private school beyond tuition. This program will fail miserably and only give Dems more reasons to cry racism.

Not here in middle Tennessee. Even MTCS in Murfreesboro is $10,000 a year. St. Rose Catholic School in Murfreesboro is $15,000 for Catholics and $20,000 for non-Catholics.

This is true also in Tennessee, I think.
