What vouchers do, to my understanding, is allow the money you pay in taxes to follow the student. For example, if I am not satisfied with a school, I could change without having to move. Right now, I have no choice where my kids go. Another advantage would be is people with kids in private schools could use their tax money toward tuition so, in theory, more parents would have a choice to whether send their kids to a private school or public school. IMHO, the competition could lead to better public schools because they’ll be in a competition for students. Also, it's not fair for people to pay property taxes and private school tuition.
