But as a general rule, I agree that vouchers have been a disaster for education.

They have not. Vouchers allow parents to have a choice where their child goes to school and if there’s a better option they can take advantage of it.

We spend more on education now than we ever have and we’re getting worse results. Why do you think that is? Might it be that accountability isn’t a thing any longer?

I don't know what Seattle's problems are, and Dope isn't really providing any information on them. Teacher's salaries? Lack of funding? Poor teacher/student ratio? A disproportionate number of wealthy people sending their kids to private schools?

None of those things. The district has plenty of money but runs at a deficit because of bloat.
