Arlos sez no vouchers. John agrees with Platt. John sends his kids
to private schools. Arlo doesn't. Simple self interest must be in play.

I wanted to get back to this, mainly because it ignores an important
fact. The Finnish and Japanese PUBLIC schools rank among the best
schools in the world, besting many "private" schools along the way.
If "public" is the problem, how do you account for this? The answer?
"Public" is not the problem. The problem is in valuation. The success
of these public schools is rooted in community investiture and
involvement, it is rooted in the simple fact that these communities
VALUE education enough to make it an integrated and real part of
community life.
I am ALL for educational reform. ALL for correcting the problems
where they come up. But if we ever hope to really reform education,
we must be aware of the root issues. "Public" is NOT the problem.
By the way, Arlo sends his kid to public schools. Arlo is intimately
involved with the school and her educational process. Arlo's kid is
excelling wildly.
