According to school choice critic Richard Kahlenberg, private school vouchers will never work because successes with small pilot-level voucher programs (which help some students at the expense of others) cannot be replicated when taken to scale. A better and more egalitarian option, he says, would be to allow every child the opportunity to attend a "solidly middle class" public school through a system of mandatory public school choice, spanning school district lines and subject to "fairness" guidelines.
