Voucher advocates say that what’s wrong with going shopping for schools just like you shop in a supermarket, you buy one product, you know, if you don’t like it that’s fine. What’s…what’s debatable or what’s wrong about that is that schooling isn’t a commodity. It’s not an individual product like you buy soap powder or perfume, or the bread that you like. Schooling is a social good — it belongs to the entire community. If schools are lousy as they are in many urban areas the choice is, one choice is to exit which is what the vouchers permit, another choice is to try to improve those schools and that’s what we really need to do to keep doing in urban centers particularly.
