Quote:My idea of doing something is to get rid of public schools. If parents get to choose where to send their children, there will be competition and nothing inspires improvement like money. If your school has bad test grades you don't get students and as a result, no money.
And so far the theory. In Holland, starting 20 or so years ago, a lot of things got privatized (energy, health care, mail delivery, trains etc.) what you see is that the level doesn't get higher. The only thing that changes is more commercials on TV, higher salary for management, and new paper pusher jobs. It is not about the level of education, it is about making money.
