This seems like a relatively benign effort to revitalize the educational system, though there are many criticisms that should be addressed. School vouchers are not in the best interest of the majority. In the first place, there is the constitutionality of providing public money for parochial school tuition. Though the Constitution does offer room for government programs, the voucher system directly defies the principle of separation of church and state. Establishing the school voucher system would be detrimental to the majority of families.
Most private schools are very selective and very expensive.
The voucher plan is designed to provide only a nominal amount of the tuition money for enrollment in private schools, thus helping a very limited number of families. Enrollment in private schools is also very competitive. The voucher program does not ensure acceptance. Instead of implementing a second system, we should embrace our current one and work to improve it. After all, it is a fundamental component of our democracy to give each student an equal opportunity to receive a good education.
