My opinion on school choice

In my opinion, school choice is not the way to go. The main idea of school choice is the use of vouchers to reallocate funds. When it comes to public schools, most of them need all of the funding they can get. This being said when they take those funds away, the only people being hurt are the students that those funds are meant for. Students won't receive the things that they need to succeed.
