By Students being offered choice programs in school it may offer them a broader and 'better' education in the long run. By allowing those lower income families a chance to allow their children to get a private school education could help the child out tremendously in their future. Better education may let those children want to go on and receive higher education which will lead them to have a better paying job, health care and a more comfortable life.
I believe that the program is a good idea and disagree with the author of the passage. They stated that boy states allowing parents to choose which schools they want to send their kids it will cause segregation. I do not believe that the system will cause this, because, it is possible that once the parents and children find out about the program they will inform others within their community and beyond, who will then also know about the program, therefore not just one area of students will be going to a school. Along with it will not only be one social class anymore.
Lastly, by having the program it will allow more views to be expressed in one setting, so children will be exposed to the unknown. Since usually only the high-income children go to private schools. With the voucher being offered to allow parents within the low-income group send their children to provate school there will be a variety of opinions on topics in the classroom. Since not all of the children would be coming from the same social class or background. I believe the state program allows for more diversity within the private school setting.

Questions I came across while reading:
- Why do some states fund lower-income kids to go to private schools when most public schools do not have enough funding?
- The states could (instead of using the money on vouchers for private schools) use the money they are spending to fix and maintain public or state run school.
- If the students are failing in public schools why not just offer a tutoring program, or extra help of some form, or even make sure that the teachers are teaching a way that is easily understandable for the children?
- If the students are failing in public schools what proves to the states that the kids are not going to flunk out in a private school and waste their oppurtunity for the education someone else could have received?
