School Vouchers

Re “Voucher Deal Takes Shape With Proposal by Democrats,” Feb. 7: I wonder how those poor, deceived parents are going to feel when they show up with their kid, voucher in hand, at a fancy private school and find out a) the voucher does not cover the tuition; b) the school has scholastic requirements; and c) there is a long waiting list.

There are going to be a lot of new private “schools” springing up. By the way, did you know that private school teachers are not required to have the same training or accreditation as public school teachers?
