And you are missing the point that I agree- The fact of the matter is that the money right now in the US "follows" the child. The problem is that the LAWS only allow that money to follow them into public programs (if you home-school a child a district get s zip)- Charter schools are still public programs- and ALL of the child's money follows the child into them though they do not require teachers to be in a union.
Again, you are misunderstanding. I am stating that we should change the laws and allow the money to follow the child outside government monopolies. Saying, "the money follows the child therefore this is the same thing" is entirely missing the point of my originating post. We need to fix this, or our children will continue to under perform.
I understand that you agree and like "vouchers", however saying that a place where it is in effect and shown to be effective is the same thing we do now is crazy.
I simply provide an entire nation, one that outperforms all of our government monopoly schools, where the ideas that people promote have been implemented and are working splendidly. Our best students still don't compare, because our schools are failing our children. This isn't because of "poor teachers", it is because we allow failure to continue.
We're very likely going to home school our children after elementary education simply because the government monopoly under performs even poor nations. Our kids desperately need to be educated.
