The third prong is met because it is the parents, not the government, who will decide where to send the children to school. Finally, vouchers will improve education for everyone in both private and government schools because they will introduce the positive power of competition to the education system. The government monopoly on schools hurts the quality of public school education. With vouchers, schools will be forced to compete with each other, only attracting students if they provide an education acceptable to parents. If competition improves quality and reduces cost in every other area of our economy, it should certainly be used as a tool to improve the quality of education we as a country buy for our children.
Vouchers provide a solution to so many problems facing our educational system.
