Here is a link to a great (long) article from the People for the American Way (PFAW)called “The Voucher Veneer“. If you thought deregulating the energy markets were chaotic (think Enron and California), just think how dangerous the commodization of our children’s right to education would be.
Sure, vouchers might make schools more “competitive” with one another, but what happens to the kids that have to go to the bad schools? Should we be taking even more moneyaway from poorly performing schools which are inadequately funded?
And who is pushing for privatization and why?
This is a great backgrounder.
