Good Morning
“These new studies should give a boost to those who believe accountability comes from parents who know better than a distant education bureaucracy what schools best work for their children.”
Check out the FutureEd interview with Louisiana education superintendent John White on the school choice — including the role of the federal government, accountability and the hypocrisy from opponents.
“If you have a good school, they’re willing to serve all kids, they’re showing that they’re effective on the same tests as every other school is taking. What is your problem, at that point, with letting that family make the choice? That’s a particular brand of hypocrisy, given how many leaders on the left who advocate this position, have themselves or have had family members who are the beneficiaries of a private education.”
