Yassamin Ansari: “Prolific data shows that test scores and achievement…”

“If the people who are choosing school vouchers are not happy with them, they can always go back to the public schools. So the numbers have gone up. But the answer is most certainly no, because Prolific data shows that test scores and achievement standards are either the same or lower with school choice vouchers than non-voucher schools. 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.” (03:12–03:24)
