Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A school voucher program targeted towards low- and middle-income families would provide these families with financial support to send their children to private schools, thus allowing them more educational options. This would decrease segregation among public schools as children from low- and middle-income families attend private schools. It would not necessarily cause per-pupil funding in public schools to fall, nor would it cause salaries for outstanding teachers to fall. In fact, competition among schools may increase as private schools compete for students with the voucher program.
