Well, that sounds slightly different. And actually, I think it's a very good thing for high schools to be concerned about the degree to which they prepare kids for University (which is something a bit different from preparing them for "real life," I'd add). It shows that they care and that they are prepared to work at doing a better job.
It certainly doesn't mean that vouchers are a good idea. All vouchers do is funnel public money into private schools and worse, charter schools. I don't really get how that's a conservative idea; sounds like a colossal waste of money and misallocation of resources to me.
