Well lets see if the kids are tested every year and they fail they
must switch schools, if a child fails today in public school for the
most part and despite all the no child left behind nonsense they
will still have to go to the same no good public school and same
damn public school system for 13 or more years. yes some parents
will game the system, any ststem can be gamed but it is much better
that the gaming be done by the least powerful instead of so much by
the most
powerful.
Anyway the vast majority of parents will do what is best for
their kids plus lower price may equal lower quality sometimes but
that is often not the case with education, There are parents that
give their children a good home school education for less than 1,000
a year, with low cost and free materials both hardcopy and online
passed between home school networks it is easy to see how a parent
could educate their child for less than 1,000 a year. Also they can
form local networks between 4 to 10 other familes. THere are also low
cost very good educators out of India that will do face to face
online tutoring US students or any other English speaking student.---
