Behold. I don't want the federal government involved in a voucher program; indeed, I don't want the federal government involved in setting a national education policy. That should be for states and localities to do. And it might be better--as people like my RedState colleague, Ben Domenech have pointed out--to have a tax rebate system that will allow families a broader range of choice that will include access to private schools. But in either event, as Alex Tabarrok states, incentives matter. And absent genuine and wide-ranging school choice, there is no incentive for failing schools to improve themselves.
