Free Up Education and Let Parents Decide

SEE HERE This is an emblematic case of parents finally getting fed up. Inferior schools in the inner cities often condemn the children that go there to poor educational outcomes. It isn't just the teachers' fault of course. There are a variety of reasons. Being forced to hang out with bad companions might be one for example. I remember how my mom always said "Birds of a feather flock together" whenever she was pointing out that some folks I knew were trouble. When almost all the birds are trouble you might have more than the usual problem steering clear. My own view is that teacher's unions have largely destroyed education, not to mention useless administrators. We would do far better with more and smaller schools run by parents.
