Quote:Giving parents money to give to the school seems like a backwards way to do things. Maybe I'm missing it all but I don't really see how that helps anything?


What's wrong with students just picking a school they want to go to like normal? If its good and they do well then all is well, if its bad and they are struggling , the parents can just move them to a different one.
 

Look at it this way, if the schools get the money directly then there is no incentive to improve. Maybe in Ireland you can go to any school you want, but in most places in the US the government assigns each student to a particular public school. If that school is terrible your child is out of luck unless you are rich enough to pay for a private school alternative. If every student was given the same stipend and the parents could choose the school, then every family could get their children into a good school, and the poor schools would go out of business.
