I would offer that the voucher amount is nowhere close to the cost of a decent private school. So you have the same situation, you are only supplementing the upper and upper/middle class families. Middle class might be able to afford private, low income no way. So you expedite white flight and exacerbate the class distinctions. That's my read on how it would play out. I don't think it is as simple as it seems.
As for the families, of course that is true. But schools can do better than they do now. I think the key is to show that one can actually have a better life by getting an education. And create an environment that stimulates the kids instead of beating them down.
