Mr. Paul, I find it hard to know exactly what you want. Choice for everyone? Will schools also have choice in whom they
take? In what they teach? If a child wants to take high-level science
courses, but the magnet science school is full, will that child have to attend
the arts school, and give up his science dream? Public schools now have programs for almost
all students. Will charter and private
schools have to replicate that?
Local control? Do you want total local control, or should
schools still have to do standardized testing, to see how well the students are
doing? Will taxpayers have any
input? They are, after all, footing the
bill, and these are their children.
What about special
ed.? It is now a huge chunk out of every
public school budget. Will these
independent and charter schools be able to say oh, sorry, we are not equipped
to handle a child like that?
My own take on improving schools is more modest. Make the development of avid-reading behavior
the highest goal, and we will again outscore all of the other countries.
