School vouchers: an intractable dilemma?
Article Abstract:
School vouchers continue to be an extremely divisive issue in politics, and most public opinion polls show support for vouchers is significantly higher in minority communities. The difference between the micro- and macroeconomic perspectives may be the reason why vouchers seem such an intractable issue. Studies on whether voucher students achieve measurable performance gains are inconclusive, and each parent must decide whether to use them or to work with other parents to improve the public schools.
