Things may not be so sunny if those schools were flooded with domestically neglected kids from impoverished homes (financially or intellectually) that did nothing more than throw a voucher their way. I can only speculate.
Voucher programs require effort. They don't just mail it to your house. You have to apply for the voucher and research the schools available. Parents of neglected kids aren't going to put the effort in. Voucher programs self-select for famlies that care about their children and education and give these people a chance.
