Vouchers make an enormous difference for poor kids. All private schools
have scholarship programs for kids who are bright and not able to afford
the tuition. A voucher program allows an expansion of the scholarships
to admit a significantly larger number of kids. These schools want all
the brightest kids.
Vouchers also place a lot of money in the market so that other private
schools can be created. For example, with vouchers, a local Muslim
group may be able to create their own school. The possibilities are
enormous; the program is sound.
