I agree that vouchers are not a solution. They may make a difference
in a small percentage of the students. But I too favor giving people
a choice.

I cringe at the thought that kids in places like Washington DC have
crummy schools and no options.

Yeah, that bothers me a lot, too. DC is an interesting case, because their
school chancellor, Michelle Rhee, is as good as they get. She's really
shaken up the schools there. If she can't get results, then their system is
unfixable.
