i think the problem in "b" is that the premise says the parent can SELECT the school on their own discretion to which they can send their children. AFTER SELECTING THE SCHOOL "WOUDNT THEY WILLING TO SEND THEM"

many school doesn't include all the schools.....there would still be a lot of schools who would admit students barring ethinicity...

Since parents can select the schools to which they send their sons and daughters - and use the voucher money to pay tution costs - familes can break free of the racial and ethnic limitations of their own communities when making educational decisions.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt upon the above conclusion?

a) Lower income families are more likely to benefit from school voucher programs than are their middle of upper-income counterparts.

b) Parents would not be willing to transport their children to schools more than 5 or 10 miles from home.

c) a signifcant number of public school teachers are opposed to school vouchers.

d) many schools in the county have been know to discriminate against admitting students on the basis of race and ethnicity.


OA pl......I am still confused...
e) voucher programs have not been successful in several counties adjacent to Clink County.

Please keep answers with explanations coming and I would update OA shortly.
