The article evaluates arguments for school vouchers, particularly emphasizing parental choice for tailored education options, especially for children with special needs. However, it argues that the real issue lies in the underfunding of public schools, suggesting that resources should be allocated to enhance public education rather than diverting funds to vouchers. Additionally, it critiques the assumption that private schools are inherently more efficient, asserting that issues like accountability and quality can also be present in the private sector. The article advocates for improving public education rather than shifting to private alternatives.
If the equipment is critical for the community, then the funding should be used to get that equipment for the rec centers rather than funneling money into private gyms.
There is no public sector curse and private sector magic, one can have bad or good in either.
If a school district is inefficient and not accountable, going private is not an automatic fix. It just leaves all the problems in place in what remains of the public sector.
Rather, the solution is to increase efficiency and accountability in the public sector, as has been done with many very good public schools.
