| Mr Puggsly said: School choice can help rid of failing schools, more competition could lead to better oversight of corruption, and schools can still get federal funding without huge, useless department doing it. DOE hasn't existed very long and hasn't made things better. Essentially, get rid of it completely or reduce what it does signficantly. |
So far, school choice hasn't done those things.
School choice, in the form of charter schools, has been rife with abuse. The oversight has simply not been there, and competition hasn't done anything to help. Competition between schools, whether public, charter, or private, has mostly served as motivation to fudge numbers and to eliminate the lowest performers.
