Simple - A school voucher is a grant that the school district gives to parents so that their son or daughter may attend the school of their choice. This voucher system can be used with students as young as elementary school.
In my opinion, school vouchers are a very bad idea. School vouchers would create more problems than they would solve. First, school vouchers would single out certain areas or minorities. School vouchers would not be distributed to everyone evenly. Low-income areas or "bad" neighborhoods would receive these vouchers first. History shows us that if money is thrown in only one direction, someone is going to be mad. Even if they do go to those parents who really need it, would we want them to even have the freedom of choice in the first place? No matter what kind of fantasy world people may be living in, stereotyping and hatred is real. Whethe
r it's based on race, religion, nationality, or economic standing, certain people just should not go to certain schools.
The answer is: no, of course not. I believe the issue is more about parents, and what they need to do about their children in school. One of the major arguments for vouchers is, "Parents should not be limited about where they send their children based on where they live." Well, don't you think the parents would have thought of that before they moved to where they did? I know that my mom always asked what school I would be attending before we made a decision on buying the house or not.
