Purpose Statement:
The purpose of this website is to problematize the use of voucher systems in the United States today by acknowledging
the complexity
of the issue. Due to the variety of voucher
schemes, it is difficult to identify overarching pros and cons that allow for blanket statements regarding the benefits of
vouchers. Thus, this site does not seek to draw a conclusion about whether vouchers are ultimately good or bad, but
instead it provides various perspectives surrounding some advantages and
disadvantages of voucher use.

This site was created by Sharon Fritz and Kaitlyn
Branchaw as a project for their EDUC 148 class, Critical Inquiry Into Contmeporary Issues: Developing a Knowledge-base for
Teaching in a Diverse Society, taught by Dr. Martin Scanlan at Marquette University.
