[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a shame using "market principles" to educate children. It's too late to just choose a "better" school when you discover your child's charter school was sub-par years later. Too late by then. Children should also not be subject to CEO and shareholder worries about profitability.[/quote] I am more concerned that the free market does not provide enough commitment. Public schools are accountable forever. A private company can try some things, fail, and just fold. I suppose after 100 years or so of schools failing, maybe you are left with good ones with a lot of history. Maybe. Then again they can get bought out and be ruined.[/quote] Public schools aren't accountable, that's the problem. [/quote] It depends on your definition of accountable. Public schools are accountable to parents. Poor performing public schools can be closed, but often it's the parents who are in favor of keeping them open. [/quote]
