Why Public Schools Fail
MerryOne has a great post talking about Public Schools vs. Private Scools. She's making the argument for Catholic Schools. Couldn't the same be true for private schools in General?
Now, it's been said that a state pays $10,000/year per child. Consider an average classroom has 30 children. Where's all the money going? Last time I checked a teacher didn't earn $300,000 per year.
What would happen if the state 'attached' $10,000 to the child? Then the parents could choose what school to send thier kids too. Free market competition would take over indeed.
Right now, there is simply no accountability. One more miserable example of why goverments fail.
