- “All I want is for my children to get the best education they can.”
That statement, along with so many others, has been a consistent one that I’ve heard on my radio show and for yearsin discussions with parents, especially those who are stuck with inner-city schools with decrepit buildings that lack critical resources.
And for the past 20 years, one of the most talked-about solutions is for parents stuck in dead-end, failing schools to have the option to use vouchers to allow them to send their children somewhere they could get quality educations.
Republicans have made vouchers a linchpin of their education overhaul initiatives. Democrats steadfastly have refused, saying it would take vital dollars out of the public school system.
