Not all but most parents of private schooled kids sacrifice to be able to do it which means they care more about it and so put more into it. With vouchers it will put the same kids whose parents don't care enough to sacrifice in with those other private schooled kids. It will water it down and make it more like the public schools. Is that progress? Glad we homeschool. Our 12 year old already took SAT and could get into most colleges although she will take it again, it was just for calibration. Our 8 year old is in a robot lego league where a PHd in engineering is teaching him how to program. They're also in the local symphony orchestra. Yes they are socialized just fine. What they experience now is much more like the "real world" than a kid sitting in a class of 30 others their own age waiting for Johnny to catch up. Can't imagine dropping my kid off with strangers and hoping for the best. I went to a horrible public school, Lanier near Greenback, and am lucky to have done as well as I have. Had a couple of good teachers but most were terrible.
