Would you vote for this candidate (all other issues being equal)?

chuck829 asked:


Would you be willing to support a political candidate who promised (and I use that term loosely in politics) to overhaul the current educational system for one that favored a private school voucher program, similar to that in Europe? The schools would still be highly regulated and would compete for the best teachers (meaning pay them more), but the parents would be able to choose where they sent their children. Studies have shown that a program like this has resulted in less money being spent per child, but more would be spent in the classroom (since there would be a reduction in administration expense). The teachers would get raises like most Americans, based upon their work, rather than their seniority. The best teachers would make more money while the worst would probably be out of jobs. Teachers unions have traditionally been against this type of system, and for good reason, this would effectively break the teacher’s union. Also, what is your political affiliation, if any?
