<p>Since the public school system seems to not be adequately servicing a number of people, why not offer a voucher system to the students - at a minimum offering them to the poorest students, and allow them to make their own choice in which school to attend and keep race out of the picture? Even if there aren’t enough privates available at this time to service them, our free enterprise system will guarantee some will open. It’ll also force the publics to compete since they’ll no longer have a monopoly and they might actually fix some of their problems. </p>
<p>If, after paying the huge amounts of taxes I pay, I were forced to send my kids past several high schools to some lesser HS across town just because my local HS already had ‘enough’ students of my kids’ race, I’d move ASAP to another, better district where my kids could attend a local HS.</p>
