The people benefiting from these aspects have 0% of attending private schools. They would have a >>0% chance of attending private schools if they were each given their share of the public school budget. I am not convinced that would be a good thing — my big concern is that a lot of 'private schools' would pop up which would just hoover up the vouchers, much as one sees with for-profit higher education.
