1. Parochial school tuition is cheaper
THAT is why. A voucher won't even come close to the tuition at a private school. Where I live in Florida, the tuition at a local non-sectarian private school runs $18,000 to $24,000 per student a year. Vouchers? I doubt it unless a parent already could afford it.

Charters? Well, there is one Charter in Miami complaining that the reason their school received a failing grade was because they got all the failing students from public schools. Well, hello? If your kid was an A or B student in public school, why would you take them out? UNLESS, you wanted to send them to a RELIGIOUS school.
