Yet another gee-whiz story today about the new law in Georgia that will provide vouchers to students with disabilities. The law has been promoted as a ticket out for families who want to escape their local schools, but little has been written about the law's weaknesses. Among them: private schools that aren't obligated to provide adequate curriculum or teaching for kids; stipends that won't cover the cost of private schools; and a real possibility that kids will be disconnected from their communities in segregated "special" schools. For some more realistic talk on the subject, see this earlier piece that cautions: let the buyer beware.
