Education theory is a joke no doubt. But ever since busing the argument has been that the schools suck. More and more money got put into private schools and now we are at the voucher stage. Why is that? Why are people willing to spend money for second rate teachers just in order to put their kids in schools they think they like? What would happen if all that voluntary money got put into the schools?
Free and Public education may have been the most important contribution of the twentieth century. Why do these people want to do away with it? I don't think it is perfect but I will defend it.
