Should rich school districts and charter schools that excel in academic achievement be rewarded for doing a great job? Absolutely they should be recognized.
Should these schools be rewarded if it means that poorer districts and charter schools are denied the means to make their educational institutions better? No, they should not.
We can not have crony capitalism that benefits rich districts and charter schools that may side with the current political climate at the expense of poorer districts and charter schools that really need the funding to make their schools better.
We should all be in this together. We all want what is best for the kids. Reward the schools that do well but also give the schools that are struggling the means to fulfill their missions. There are not enough affordable (if there is such a thing for the middle and lower classes) vouchers to go around.
