[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In some developing countries, mission-based boarding schools are a very common method of delivering education.  It sounds expensive, but if we are talking about populations where families are getting subsidies for housing and groceries already, then some of those payments could travel with the child to the boarding school, covering some of the costs.  I'm generally not in favor of voucher systems because they hollow out existing systems.  But I think it may be worth investing in such an experiment; there are foundations that may be interested in trying something new, as well.  [/quote]

I agree that it would seem like a good idea.

Plus this way, the funds are going directly to helping the kids.  The system as it currently is set up, is ridiculously wasteful and flawed.

The mom's (who have already proven themselves irresponsible by having more kids than they can support) are the ones who get the money and decide what to do with it.  It gets spent on crappy food and weekly hair appointments for the mom.

A boarding school set up would benefit the kids more and could possibly have great results.[/quote]
