Have you examined McCain's education proposal. It is no different than NCLB, except for offereing vouchers in the tier 3 failing schools. So in a way it is making a bad policy worse. Do you know where school's recieve the bulk of thier money? Local property taxes. I garauntee, that the voucher initiative will bring about the highest increase in your local property taxes that you have seen in the last 50 years.
