Gov. Christie’s administration is pushing for school choice. I can see it spreading. It’s an idea whose time has come. It just makes sense in this day and age.
It costs about $14,000 to educate the kids in the middle school next door to me. It costs about $4,500 to educate the kids in the Catholic academy in the next town and every single graduate this year is either going to a private school, a competitive public school, or a Catholic school. The kids in my town do all right. The kids in the Catholic school just do better.
I have used school choice for my kids education. Home schooling that is. Public school is not a place to educate any more.
