The honest voucher guys will actually admit this. But their answer is new schemes will be better.
All they mean:
1) With wealthier families getting vouchers, private schools choosing their kids will be better;
2) Less data/reporting in new bills, so worst results kept hidden.

~75% voucher kids were already in private school anyway.
The other 25% suffer horrific results after transfer.
The last 4 statewide studies found learning loss similar to Katrina and COVID impacts.
Why? Sub-prime & pop-ups the only schools available to most voucher transfers.

The two most persistent falsehoods peddled in education policy are:
1) that vouchers = “school choice” and improve student results
2) that investing in public schools has no impact
Both have 10+ years of data now consistently showing otherwise.

Bad news for all those past voucher lobby memos pointing to Florida NAEP as a reason other states need Florida-style vouchers.
BREAKING: Florida reading, math scores fall to lowest mark in more than 20 years on nation's report card.

“When you test things, whether in a lab, or in public policy, you see how it goes, and then you make adjustments. A lot of bad stuff happened since the pilot voucher phase, and some of us adjusted, and some of us didn’t.”
