1) Vouchers are a scam with a long history of documented failure. Despite all the disingenuous claims made by their advocates they have been tried many times and each time failed to produce the promised results. But they’ve often had consequences for students…
2) Vouchers have already been tried in states like Wisconsin, Ohio, in the District of Columbia, etc. In each instance they failed to produce much noticeable achievement in student performance on tests or in essential subjects.
