I can see how that would work in some places. A friend of mine is a single dad who makes a very modest income and sends his kid to private school. But the school happens to be fairly close to home. He's barely getting by and had to make an agreement with his boss to allow coming to work 30 minutes later so he could drive his kid to school. Public transportation in many areas is a joke, and if that school were further away he may not be able to do it. There's also extremely impoverished areas to consider, where parents have even fewer resources.
The kids with parents who can't or won't do whatever it takes to get their kid to a better school, well they deserve poor education anyway. Someone has to work menial labor jobs after all, especially if those same politicians who support vouchers continue to support cracking down on immigrati- hey wait a minute. I see what they're doin. Actually quite brilliant.
