In fact, Established research shows that investing in public schools is a better investment, providing a higher overall return than voucher programs. It just makes sense. We have to invest and strengthen our public schools to the schools that educate. As our other witness mentioned, 9 out of 10 children in this country not undermine them with unaccountable voucher programs. (03:24–03:33)
