I am torn.  I can see both sides of the voucher debate.  For those of you who do not know about proposed school vouchers here it goes.  The government would be able to give every family a voucher of roughly $2500 to go toward private school tuition.
Would vouchers create a mass exodus of public education students into private schools?  Maybe that exodus would benefit public school by decreasing the overcrowding problems which are one of the major problems.
Perhaps that vouchers would create the much needed competition that the public schools have never had.  What has been the motivation for public schools to excel, they have never had any competition before.  
Yes, vouchers would draw money away from public education however, at some point we have to realize that money may not be the answer to solving our public education woes. I would compare the problems in public education to the cure for cancer in that, it's very possible that we could throw all the money in the world at the problem and it would possibly not fix it.
As a public school teacher I feel like I should not support vouchers but I am just not ready to throw out the idea just yet.  I have other ideas about fixing public education but I'll get into those later.
