Exactly. The problems always seem to creep in when the gov't messes about with the market. That's not to say there aren't cases when it should; but those cases are well defined: the six types of market failure. In this case you could have a rural school with little or no competition. The government may have to provide some additional incentive for a competing school. Further there are standards that could be set. For me it would be the ability to conduct business in modern society which would mean finance, and then there's computer skills, etc. I suppose you'd bake this all into the testing process? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:176031 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
