for the first time, homeschooled children are scoring higher on average on college entrance exams than public school children. Those that cannot afford to live in areas with better public schools are receiving a subpar education. It will be a painful transition but competition needs to play a role in either forcing public schools to improve or collapse. But then again, the public school system’s primary focus is not education but teacher’s unions and continued administrative bloat. Until that is fixed, it’s doomed and the voucher system provides an out for some and hastens the collapse of schools that do not deserve to remain open.
