School vouchers provide children the opportunity to attend the school that best meets their needs; be that school public, private, or parochial. Under such a system, children and their parents decide what is in the best interest of the child. Therefore, I have always found it curious that the most outspoken opponents of vouchers are the very people who claim to act in the best interests of children: teachers unions. Many children remain shackled to inferior public schools as a function of their zip code, and any attempt to remove the shackles is opposed vociferously by the unions. I get the job security angle, but let's stop pretending that these unions have anyone's best interest at hear other than their own.
