Not if the money flows with the student to the school of choice. It will force schools to work harder to provide a quality education instead of babysitting and indoctrination, in order to keep the school afloat. The better schools will grow and the weaker school will fail. But with competition the vast majority of schools will work harder to provide a quality education as you can bet that the administrators of low performing schools will work their a$$ of to keep their jobs.

No, it really doesn’t. “Good schools”, or schools with a smart and orderly parent base, won’t want outside students. “Bad schools” are largely schools without such a parent base. But shipping the students from “bad schools” to “good schools” will just spread the “badness” to the “good”. Kids don’t need to be shipped around before and after schools. Public schools should be as simple, small and local as possible. If parents want something else, they should come up with that on their own.

Talking to Democrats is entirely pointless and a waste of breath.

Big difference between the dog and a Liberal, the dog can learn, the Liberal can’t or prefers not to...

“Choice” is about competition. There is competition in choosing a life-mate. Choice in where to work. Choice in choosing a car to buy.

All suppliers of services or products must be forced to operate in a competitive environment. That environment can still be regulated to ensure the minimum standards are applied to all. But, there MUST be competition.

Without it, the State will tell you who your children will marry and then decide which of your grandchildren to abort.

The reason it is difficult is that the teachers unions spend billions spreading misinformation and they have an army of over 3 million teachers recruiting people to their side.

What does the pro choice lobby spend?
