Added argument against school vouchers.
Line 1: Line 1: −
'''Education vouchers''', as used in Cleveland and other U.S. cities, permit parents of [[public school]] children to choose any public or private school for their children they wish. The presumption is that they will make a wiser choice about which school will help their children learn, then local or state bureaucrats. School voucher programs are most popular among inner-city blacks, and opposed most by the Democrats and teachers' unions.

'''Education vouchers''', as used in Cleveland and other U.S. cities, permit parents of [[public school]] children to choose any public or private school for their children they wish. The presumption is that they will make a wiser choice about which school will help their children learn, then local or state bureaucrats. School voucher programs are most popular among inner-city blacks, and opposed most by the Democrats and teachers' unions.  The main argument against vouchers (and other such programs, like schools-of-choice) 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.  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.
