With your vouchers, is any school required to take a voucher required to take a student?

What if the student has a learning disability? In a smaller school, that will certainly take down the test scores - will three LD students ruin the school's reputation? How about people with down syndrome, for example?

What if the student requires major accommodations - for example, the student is quadriplegic? The big school systems currently take money from all students to help out with these expensive cases.

Will these private schools with vouchers be required to maintain the same standards as the public schools? For example, can a school discriminate via race or religion?

Most voucher advocates are really looking to take the easy students and dump the hard cases on a backstop underfunded public system. Then everyone will look at the public system and say, "see how much better the private system is!"

Because the private system does not take the hard cases.

You have a lot of questions. Denmark has money tied to the child and not the school district. Look into their system for more answers.

Everything is a process of improvement overtime. The reality is, we don't have all the answers ever. What matter's is how much things are improving overtime. I don't see that with public schools.

I could easily ask you a ton of questions on how to fix Detroit or LA schools.

Allowing competition fixes a lot of problems.
