In article , John Flanagan says...

A voucher doesn't give you the right to attend any school. Only the
ability to pay for it if they accept you. Just like a college.

OK, we're going to ignore the voucher proponents who say that
public school are so awful that instituting vouchers will mean
their certain demise - because then your comment above would
be quite *un*true - all vouchered kids have to attend somewhere,
so the vouchers really would be an instant in at any school in that
case.

But agreeing for a moment that public schools will still exist
after "V" day, it's apparent that the brighter kids will abandon
them instantly and leave only the problem kids behind: the
kids who cost more to educate. How does a voucher plan ensure
that the left-behinds will still get a decent education?
