This is kinda disingenuous. 1) Vouchers do not cover the cost of most DC area private schools. They provide approx. $7500, but most top tier schools cast approx $20k, so the school is expected to kick in the remainder. 2) If vouchers became universally available it would simply inflate the cost of all private schools by the voucher amount, with no increase in student achievement. 3) A largely overlooked element is that private schools get to /choose/ whom they accept. This allows them to preselect the voucher recipients that they think would succeed.
