I do not fear lag time, or other potential downsides from putting the responsibility where it primarily belongs, first the parents, and then the local elected officials. The free market, if it is allowed (which it desperately needs to be allowed) to take part, will create an education system that is the envy of the world, with littloe or no Federeal interaction either necessary, or wanted.
I could care less about this from a “we are the world” bleeding heart issue. I look at economics. If a state does not come out of the gate just right, the market will still take time to correct. What about those who were in school during the “correction”
I would whether not pay for their jail time or what have you.
If you can pitch me a transitional system that moves this out to the states, and guaranties that we remain competitive internationally, as a country, not as 50 individual entities, I am all ears.
BTW, leaving it to the states, which is fine, really is not going to do much for the “market” idea of making things better. You now are involving 50 bureaucracies, few of which do well trying to respond to market forces. It is going to take a lot of effort. maybe even privatization, but that is going to be a long tough battle there.
My fear is that without a steady hand and a reasoned slow approach, this will be a disaster that we will take years to overcome.
Saying Education Sucks is easy and is a great campaign slogan, but I want a fix that will work. I want it to cost less, not more, in the long run. I think that is a pretty conservative approach, don’t you?
