We've been throwing money at the public schools for decades. And, for the most part, they've only gotten worse.

When it comes to public education, it's evident that lack of money isn't the problem. We're throwing good money after bad. Accordingly, perhaps we ought to be investing in something else -- like tax credits for home schoolers. Like vouchers.
