Chile had a voucher system where parents could attend any approved school (not district, not private but in the middle of the two) and pay the difference between the school's fees and the voucher value. So if the fees were $8000 and the voucher was $5000, parents had to pay $3000. The government changed the rules so that schools had to be 100% voucher or 0% voucher, meaning no parent payments. Since school expenses keep going up, but not the value of the voucher, three things are happening. Teacher salaries (and infrastructure investment, sports, music etc) are being cut, class sizes are going up and these schools are closing or becoming 100% private.
I may have the details wrong, but the general picture is correct. Vouchers are not so simple.
