I understand why you would want the choice but I think history has already shown that vouchers don't work. You have to remember that the thing vouchers do is take money out of the school you are leaving. (A better approach would be for there to be a private school tax deduction alongside programs like 529). This leaves the students that are already behind fewer resources to catch up. We need school reform desperately and this new program is very bad and not it. However, allocating extra resources for those who needed most hasn't been a priority writ large either or we wouldn't be where were are now. We also forget that there are many social aspects that drive under performers. Food insecurity, family stability, safe quiet place to read and do homework, etc. have a huge impact on student performance. School breakfast/lunch/dinner should be free for all students. We should have more after school programs built into the schools for students that need it so they can get tutoring on-prem before they even return home to a potentially unstable home life. Unfortunately we don't approach all the interconnected issues holistically. (Similar to how trivial it would be solve most homelessness if we had the political courage to change our approach). You claim that you shouldn't be "stuck" with a bad school program but you aren't. You can run for school board along with other like minded student-focused parents and get the thing corrected.
