Theoretically, just to throw this out there, parents who are involved enough in their child's education to take advantage of the voucher system would more likely have children who are successful in public schools. Whereas students whose parents are less involved in their child's education would be less likely to utilize the vouchers and their children would be more "at risk". (I'm just going off the hunch that students with more involved parents tend to do better. No research as of yet.)<BR/><BR/>So, here's the question. Do you think that presence of vouchers could cause the public schools to lose higher achieving students and lead to the ghettoization or of public schools by increasingly removing the higher achieving students who have more involved parents from the public schools where they would have a powerful positive effect?<BR/><BR/>You must admit it's an interesting question at least.Derrick Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468271151723655205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615871.post-11093024160919019652007-10-19T11:45:00.000-07:002007-10-19T11:45:00.000-07:00Sara, of course!

But, I would LOVE it if the stuff I write on Referendum 1 circulates as widely as humanly possible.<BR/><BR/>-HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797629926142284976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615871.post-91077395518300223762007-10-19T10:31:00.000-07:002007-10-19T10:31:00.000-07:00Do you mind if I share your articles with my famil...Do you mind if I share your articles with my family? I was thinking about those cute signs you posted in your blog what - last year?! I've considered creating one for my yard. I really hope more people vote for this. At the least I think it will break up the monopoly that our public schools have. With more choice will they try to create more options for us to stay there?sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11864924969860321253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615871.post-29010401221404386452007-10-12T15:28:00.000-07:002007-10-12T15:28:00.000-07:00I hope your charter schools turn out better than t...I hope your charter schools turn out better than the ones here in Ohio. Some of our charter schools have shut down mid school year and left kids without a place to go. Hopefully, Utah can learn from our mistakes and have a successful program!Momo Falihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735425888226178189noreply@blogger.com
