Would vouchers empower parents as consumers to compare private schools and then enroll their child in whichever one they choose?
No. Saying vouchers would facilitate “parental choice” for private schools is a mirage and a false promise. The “choice” is really made by private school admissions committees, which choose which children to accept and which to reject. Even with a voucher, the tuition cost at the best private schools would be out of the reach of low-income parents.
