I don't agree with you. Some private schools can and do suck as bad as some public schools.But the other thing is that being poor sucks, and is hard in America. Until you address the underlying causes, there will be lots of kids who grow up in really shitty situations with really poor parents. Theres only so much the schools can do.
And yet, there are many inner city schools in poor areas that are managing to teach children to read. Shockers.
If what you say is true, and poor people are doomed to fail in school, then the voucher program makes MORE sense. Let the kids who can make it out flee from the failure and make something of themselves.
And since the parents are paying for it they can pull them out and put them someplace else if they don't like the school. Wouldn't it be great if poor, public school students had the same option?
