With vouchers kids wouldn't "have" to go anywhere. With simply not taxing people whatsoever for education and letting them decide purely for themselves, that becomes even truer.

Maybe someone wants to spend their money on that long bus ride. I knew kids that took 2 hour rides to go to Bronx Science because it was worth it to them.

Agreed. I went to a Catholic high school in the 70's with a number of kids who took 45 minute train rides that dumped them a mile from the school, rather than go to their local school. They were obviously pretty well to do, but the voucher system would alleviate some of the economic disparity.
