Prop 38
School vouchers are the educational topic of the millennium. In California, if Prop. 38 were passed it would grant K-12 students a $4,000-a-year voucher to receive private schooling. This proposition has some ups and some downs in my viewpoint and in this paper I will tell you about school vouchers, I will also tell you about the opponents and the supporters of the bill, the candidates for President stance on the issue and finally my thoughts about school vouchers. "... Proposition 38, the initiative that would grant a $4,000-a-year voucher to K-12 students to attend a private school..."(Saunders A-24). The vouchers have been tested in a few cities including Dayton, Ohio, Washington D.C. and New York. Some bad news for supporters of Prop. 38 were that "... students offered the vouchers - 47 percent in Washington, 46 percent in Dayton and 24 percent in New York- did not use them"(Zernike 2).
