Working-class parents often express interest in vouchers. But in Arizona, the nation’s school choice capital, these families aren’t using them due to the inaccessibility of private schools and the costs of transportation, meals and uniforms.

    School vouchers suck.

    I’m a huge fan of school choice, but to me, that means:

    • multiple school options w/ no cost difference (so all tax funded, for example)
    • sufficiently robust mass transit so kids can get to whatever school they want
    • incentives for teachers to find a better fit for a student

    “Vouchers” are a lazy approach here, and I would assume they would largely benefit wealthier families.
