Parents should be able to send there children to any school that they think will provide the best education for them.  The voucher system would cost substantially less than the taxpayers are paying into the public school system through their property taxes.  Competition is a good thing when it comes to holding teachers accountable.  A voucher system would cost parents less on average than private schools in Anchorage which charge an average of 1/2 - 2/3 of what the tax paying public is paying.  The public school system is in a full protection mode in criticizing any competitive alternative....vouchers!  In education, one size does not fit all.
