Margy,

I would be highly interested in your opinion on school choice and
vouchers.

As a diehard capitalist, I can find no better solution that will both
increase teacher pay and improve education.

I am interested in how you think it will increase pay and improve the
schools.

First of all, who will take advantage of the voucher program? They will
have to pay more than the voucher will cover, so it will be the parent with
more disposable income, and cares what kind of education they are getting.
It is this child that will do well in school, because the correlation
between parent's involvement, and student achievement, is very high. What
will be left in the public schools? More problem cases with less
achievement. How is that improving the school, or increasing pay.

It is also interesting to note that private school pay is lower than public
school pay.

OK, so your argument is what? I would love to have the golden BB for all of
education's problems, but I don't see it here.
