Vouchers add power to parents, and we've (I think) already agreed that parents are a large part of the problem. Even worse: unlike policies, standards, regulations, boards, administrations, and rules, you can't change parents. Even worst: you can manipulate parents, and perverse incentives all but guarantee that evil people will be attracted to this opportunity.

No.

Of course, those evil people would never think of becoming teachers or professors in order to brainwash thousands of students over their careers.

Because that would be, what, wrong and stuff?
