School vouchers work: Another fine example
School voucher systems work — who’d thunk?
Critics said the programme would take money from a school district that was poor already. One teacher wrote an angry editorial comparing Horizon to Napoleon’s invasion of Russia, destined for “history’s trash heap of bad ideas”. But a report published in September by the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), a conservative think-tank, argues that the programme was a hit over its ten-year span. More than 4,000 students claimed the vouchers; their test scores jumped, and only two dropped out.
Of course, it doesn’t matter because the liberals are determined on making sure that education isn’t equal for everyone. That would mean that teachers and administrators would be held accountable and we can’t have that.
