[MD] Value and the Individual

[Khaled Alkotob]

[Platt]
Giving parents a voucher and a choice, schools will compete for students,
raising quality.

So you favor forcing private schools to accept vouchers? Would this be on
a
lottery system? Would schools be able to choose who they accept? Would
schools
be able to deny low-income families? Non-whites?

Sorry for the interjection here, but as I understand it, a voucher has so
much value. It is equal what the public schools are thought to cost.
So a voucher is enough for the public school left in operation, say
$5,000. A private school will take the voucher as part of the total
payment ( it could be 10% or 90%) the rest has to be paid by the parents.
