Overregulation Theory isn’t enough to explain negative voucher effects (Paul Bruno, Brookings)

REUTERS/Lee Celano Pre-schooler Cecil Smith (L), 4, holds the hand of a teacher's assistant as he prepares to go to class after he and classmates were given Mardi Gras beads, on the first day of school since Hurricane Katrina hit over a month ago, at an elementary school in Metairie, Louisiana October 3, 2005. Public schools opened throughout Jefferson Parish, including Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans.

One of the most talked-about education studies in recent months is a new working paper on the effects of Louisiana’s statewide voucher program during its first year of operation. In short, the authors find that students who won a school voucher via lottery ended up having substantially lower achievement after one year in math, reading, science, and social studies compared to students who lost the lottery and received no voucher.
