Chester Finn a fellow at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank based in Indianapolis, said public education leaders should be more open to the idea of letting poor children use vouchers to attend private schools. "Denying such children the option of attending those schools means that the very students whose needs are greatest are barred by a condition completely outside of their control their parents' income from access to alternatives that could improve their life chances and expand their educational opportunities," Finn said Monday. Jeanne Allen, director of the nonprofit, pro-voucher Center for Education Reform, complained that some poll questions included "loaded phrases" such as whether parents should be able to choose a private school at "public expense." "There is enormous frustration with public schools," she said. She cited results of last year's poll of 1,200 Americans by the Public Agenda Foundation that showed that nearly six in 10 parents with children in public schools would send them to private schools if they could afford to.

Such critics say if more probing questions were asked, the poll would have uncovered growing dissatisfaction with public schools. The Phi Delta KappaGallup Poll, released today, says the public rejects by a 61 percent to 36 percent margin the idea of letting students and their parents choose a private school to attend at public expense. A smaller majority, 54 percent, opposes the idea of a voucher system that would allow parents to choose a public, private or church-related school with the government paying all or part of the tuition.

Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole supports vouchers tax-backed coupons that parents can use to send their children to a public, private or parochial school of their choice. President Clinton embraces the idea of giving parents more choice among public schools, but he draws the line at passing out vouchers for private or religious schools. "It shows that the public knows it's dead wrong to take taxpayer dollars out of public education," Education Secretary Richard Riley said about the poll. "The parents of public school students and the American people as a whole rejected vouchers by wide margins." Keith Geiger, president of the National Education Association, the nation's largest teachers' union, said: "This latest poll should lay to rest the myth that the American people believe that vouchers are the answer to improving education." However, the telephone poll suggests that attitudes on this issue are changing. In 1993, only 24 percent said they favored allowing students and parents to choose a private school 10 attend at public expense.

That percentage rose to 33 percent in 1995 and 36 percent this year.
