"I am 100% pro choice in education. It baffles me why Americans would support choice in nearly every other area of life but don't mind being locked into an out dated-government- run education system.
http://www.edchoice.org/
I think if teachers were honest and not controlled by unions, they would admit that competition incentivizes innovation.
I hear that charters and vouchers might render us vulnerable to corporate interests but we don't seem to mind corporate inspired restaurants, stores and cell phones. Why should education be different? Frankly, there is already an education monopoly that funnels $$ to textbook companies and standardized testing publishing companies.
Why is education a sacred cow and only the government qualified to manage it?
Let's try something different. Charter schools, home schools and private schools are outperforming public schools and the greatest barrier to education is access. Access to quality education is an antidote for income inequality. As long as the best schools are only available to the wealthiest families the divide will widen.
Let's elect leaders who support innovation and are not slaves to the old system. This is better for kids AND teachers. Who wouldn't want to attend or teach at Google High school?! And if ya didn't like it.....you have options!"
