I have a nephew with autism. He gets assistance at school, and while he is in a normal public school he does have a teachers aid with him. Making schools private would do nothing to prevent this sort of program. Students with such problems would have a larger voucher (as the govt spends more on them now as it is) to cover such costs. Problem solved.

Do you think that $7500 covers your nephew's teacher's aid, and all the extra things he needs at school?
public education has to foot that all, that's why that $7500 is a meaningless, bureaucratic number, it's not that simple.
And who's to say the private school his folks may want to send him to will even want to deal with his disability? the public schools have to deal with students such as he and I, and foot the costs for it, the private school doesn't.
