The main secular argument against vouchers (and other such programs, like [[charter school]]s) is that they take money away from a given school, which makes it more difficult for the teachers to provide quality education for the remaining students (as well as not allowing the school to cover fixed costs such as building maintenance). While the result of a voucher program is good for the students who are able to take advantage of it, it severely disadvantages the remaining students, staff, and faculty.

===Lack of available non-public schools===
A concern expressed is that, outside of large urban and suburban areas, there are few (if any) private and charter schools which - notwithstanding other concerns - would even be available for parents to consider. Thus, if the school is failing, the only option would be homeschooling, which may not be feasible if both parents must work to provide for family needs.
