Vouchers won't work in DC. If there were a market for private schools that cost $10,000/year the schools would already exist.

In need of fixing.

When your kitchen gets outdated, do you take a wrecking ball to it and just eat out at restaurants because clearly the kitchen wasn't good enough?
Or do you renovate your kitchen?

This notion of increasing choice / marketplace / tinkle-on-children education theories is a load of crap and a money grab.

Improve public schools. Don't rob them.

She herself never attended public school, she's never taught nor been an administrator in a public school, and her kids never attended a public school. Perfect! Let's put her in charge of the nation's public schools. Good, good. Excellent plan.

Nightmare. She'll do nothing for the kids in this country.

We've already had a voucher program.

Whatever.

The money comes from somewhere, just FYI. As in, you and your neighbors are still paying.
