I am too, but I don't think that the voucher system will make a difference. Personally, I see it as more of a way to overcrowd the schools and water down the good schools in the process. On top of that, I don't want to see government money going to religiously affiliated schools.
What really needs to happen with the education system is maybe, just maybe have a few more weeks of classes (40 is not enough). We need to stop testing every year from grades three to eight. In addition, the publishers need to stop listening to Texas and California for what they want in textbooks and consequently dumbing them down. This makes the texts have limited information about the topic so kids at a lower reading level, it only robs the students of the context and the value of the story. Also, we need to get better teachers in place, by possibly improving the ones we have, and hiring more. Many of our lower achieving students also happen to be in overcrowded classrooms; thus i propose hiring more teachers, and building more classrooms.
I agree with the sentiment that throwing money blindly at a problem doesn't solve it. So, we need to use our money wiser than radically changing the school system (which by the way would cost a ton, between personel getting fired and hired, and legislation)
