Ohio’s School Choice Success Story

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

This is not a surprise. Whether we're talking about economics or education the same basic principles apply. Competition breeds innovation and success.

Groups that benefited the most were blacks, boys, students who experienced long-term childhood poverty, and students with below-median test scores before leaving public school. The rate of college enrollment among black scholarship recipients increased 18 percentage points, compared with 13 points for white students. Students who spent more than three-quarters of their life in poverty saw their rate of college attendance increase 17 percentage points, up to seven points higher than students from less impoverished backgrounds......

..... It’s not hard to understand why. When public schools face competitive pressure to retain students, their performance improves. Contrary to teachers union narratives, throwing more money at public schools frequently fails to have the same effect. Soaring government education spending hasn’t done much for student math and reading scores.

To suppress a childs potential is the epitome of evil.

Don't become like Canada, a failing caste system. Encourage kids to reach their potential and apply their G-d given talents, no heights are too high if one has liberty and self determination. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
