I would be in favor for the voucher experiment. Yes I agree as MIkeH points out there are bad parents and uniformed parents. I dont find this argument persuasive to stop the experiment. Like all experiments this one may fail. If it does destroy the program and try something else or ten something elses.
I see. Knowing, with virtual certainty, that vouchers will blight the future for millions of children, it makes sense to run the experiment. Just how are you going to deal with the educational disaster that will undoubtedly ensue? I'd like to see how you justify treating children with such contempt.
Sort of like voting for trump. Many voters apparently saw Washington as in hopeless deadlock. So they elected trump in the hope that he would destroy the government. Sort of like not liking the colour of the carpets in your house, so let's burn the house down, rather than, say, change the carpet.
Simple solutions to complex problems rarely turn out well.
Btw, the fact that something is 'legal' doesn't make it a good thing.
