The richest kids? No way, this is far more beneficial to the poorest kids in the worst school districts in the US (and world)!
The richest kids can already go to private schools and get a great prep education.
The poorest kids are stuck in terrible public school districts because of their zipcode, yet the per pupil spending can be as high as private schools.
Now if these kids are given a choice, say, here's a voucher for $10k, enroll in a virtual school, get an $500 iPad loaded with $100 worth of material. That's a BARGAIN! And it will only get cheaper.
The future of education is choice and private schools. It can still be public in terms of it being funded by public funds, but there's no reason to have the government running schools. They're doing a terrible job, and it has to stop because it's so important that we have good schools.
