<p>Government controls 92 percent of the spending on elementary and secondary education in the United States. With limited competition, many public schools are substandard, particularly, in low-income areas and in inner cities. More affluent families can choose better schools for their children, either by living near good public schools or by sending their children to private schools, but those with lower incomes often are trapped. The tax-funded school voucher movement is one effort to allow low-income families to select the school that best meets their children's needs. </p>
