I know that, but a lot of the parents of my children are unable for one reason or another to homeschool. Most of them want good things for their children, but some are substance abusers (not necessarily crack), some are spending every ounce of effort they have to put bread on the table, some don't make very good choices for their own lives and those of their children, and some are deployed to Iraq. Most of my students don't live in stable two parent families.

These children will need to be institutionalized for their education.

Also...The waiting lists for charters are proof enough that parents are desperate for choice.

We should begin the process of privatizing universal K_! education so that these parents can **choose** a private school for their children and not be **forced** by the government to use only the government monopoly schools.

Please study the voucher program in D.C. and tell me why parents of the students in the worst-performing schools were the least likely to apply for vouchers to get their children out of those schools.

I'll be waiting for your answer.
