This sounds really great doesn't it, but consider this...public schools have open enrollment, in other words they have to accept & try to educate anybody that walks in their doors...private schools don't...they can be selective. Till this alone changes vouchers are a joke. Public schools WILL GET WORSE with the voucher system no doubt about it.

NEW ORLEANS — As Louisiana debuts one of the nation’s most extensive private-school voucher programs, deep divides persist over who should be accountable for ferreting out academic failure and financial abuse: the government or parents.
Across the country, vouchers have resurged in a big way over the last two years—both as a form of school choice and a political lightning rod. Republican governors in Louisiana, Indiana, New Jersey and other states have championed them as a solution to the challenges besetting public education. More recently, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney joined the chorus, saying he hopes to turn an eight-year-old voucher program in Washington, D.C. into a “national showcase.”
