Here's where that voucher fucks up.

Say one school decides to really capitalize on it and has a fleet of spec.ed teachers and accessibility and non-porte quoi.

So, every spec.ed student goes to that school. Urban areas? That's fine.
Ahh now rural areas, every spec.ed in the county will want to go to this school.
What do the kids do who live 5 miles away or more?

Do they send him/her to a school that has no spec.ed service whatsoever because it costs too much and they don't get the funding for it because every spec.ed student in the county goes to this one spec.ed school?
Or does the spec.ed school send out a bus specifically to pick up this one kid the whole year. Why pay for the bus and the driver when they make a lot more on normal kids?

If you start making things about money, everything starts to go to shit, because people will go where the money is. The market doesn't solve everything. In fact, when given the chance, it will fuck over anything in its way for an extra check.

Yes, it will work for a large majority. But the minority who gets fucked, gets fucked really hard, but then again, that's equal because the market says so.
