text: Having educational spending as a tax deduction does not seem like a particularly bad idea since it may increase educational spending and at least improve education for some children without potentially taking significant amounts away from others as vouchers could do.
  I would prefer to see focused efforts to improve the educational system for all children but the educational establishment has resisted efforts to make significant progress for decades so there is little hope they will suddenly look at the data and start working toward better educations for all children.
