“vouchers”

Poor people tend to make poor choices.

Students simply need to work to succeed.

Millions of successful Jewish and black people graduated from large urban public school systems.

I agree with that, but would add that a voucher program of the right sort could break the strangle hold the teachers unions have on the education system.

That is a big part of the problem.

If you lived in Chicago, LA or NYC are you saying that you would send your child to a “large urban public school”? If not why do you wish to force others to send their children to such places? Empower the parents and the children by giving them vouchers.
