41. we can run experimental programs all the livelong day
under controlled conditions, but don't you do that with a view toward expanding the idea? Otherwise, why do it?

Under a national program, how would the money *not* come out of the general education budget? Given what tuition is at most private schools - $5k/year at the tiny school where I teach now, and that's just pre-K through 6 - how do you fund a program that will send *all* poor children to private schools? And given that "competition" is such a mantra for voucher proponents, how do those private schools keep their competitive edge with an influx of kids from public schools?
