#1 The federal government runs two K-12 school systems. One by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and another by the Department of Defense. Both can hire and fire. The former rates below national average, the latter above. The DoD schools are not known to discriminate, but are known to expect discipline as one might expect of an organization oriented to that concept. Added to the equation is the value placed by the 'consumer' population in education and the expected behavior of its participants in that light.

#2 As an anti-progressive, this is an issue I struggle with. If they are against it, I am usually for it, but I am opposed to using vouchers in favor of public schools. Education is the great equalizer. Public schools foster assimilation and cooperation among diverse students, taking knowledge with them to influence their homes and communities. There are standards to graduate and the teachers Americans, not foreign visa holders teaching segregated classes Shariah law. While charter schools are perceived as superior, many parents find the services mandated for public schools are not provided in private charters. Special needs kids are not accommodated, for example. Vouchers should not be used to subsidize parochial and charter schools if they don't provide for all students as mandated by the Constitution. The good news is attendance estimates this year in Houston may be off this year because students are returning to public schools. Easier to fire tenured teachers than to end another government handout. Parents will demand the hefty private tab be subsidized on Joe Blow's back so as to not discriminate, as "free education" will become another mandated wealth redistribution slush fund for elitest administrators.
