> I am sorry, but I have seen this meme over and over till I could puke. Where the hell do you guys get the bizarre idea that teachers are into this just to mess up kids? The teachers union did not create the mess in the inner city, and I sure as hell do not see the suburbs falling all over themselves to carve up their school districts and hand out the tax money to anyone walking down the street who says he has an idea for a school.

Vouchers do not hand the money to someone who says they have an idea for a school. That’s how the present system works.

Vouchers hands the money to the parents, who then choose where and how to spend it as they see fit.

It is irrevelant to me what a particular teachers’ motivation is, and how I should judge him/here. It is up to the parents with the voucher to make whatever decision they want.
