In a full blow voucher system you conceivably will have kids from every neighborhood going to a multitude of different schools - imagine the permutations of bus routes. I like the voucher concept, but this does seem to be a potential working flaw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-48692062200165691862008-03-25T06:15:00.000-07:002008-03-25T06:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for your comments csfta.

However, to the best of my knowledge, other students are bussed and taxpayers are picking up the tab, just like with Unified. While your concern is valid, it is certainly not an insurmountable problem.Denis Navratilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973310336665077770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26434163.post-81081044816642253122008-03-24T21:17:00.000-07:002008-03-24T21:17:00.000-07:00There are circumstances where involved parents wou...There are circumstances where involved parents would have trouble making choice work for their family. If transportation to a "choice" school requires expenditure of money and time a family does not have, there may be no "choice". Put yourself in the shoes of a single parent family hovering around the poverty line, or even two working spouses not so far above the poverty line. Without the resources to transport to the school of your choice, you likely have no choice, even if you've got voucher in hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
