Vouch for Me

Education is fundamental to democracy. But, for our nation education is 2nd class among the worlds industrial nations. It should be very clear by now that we have approached this problem from the wrong direction.
Government cannot solve this problem. The free market can. In fact, it is incestuous for government to concern itself with any aspect of creating the voting mind that will someday choose that government, except paying for it.
Imagine free market education. 10's or 100's of thousands of schools of every level and specialty( a brand new growth industry). Students and parents choosing schools, deciding collectively the success and failure of each institution. Opponents argue that specialty schools will create a crack through with students will fall, a crack of extreme beliefs and perhaps cults. This small crack is nothing compared to the canyon that our nation falls through presently. Every unwanted side affect that proponents of the present system argue, wrongly implies that this side effect is less prevalent in our current situation. For instance, worst of which, racial and economic stratification. Our current system confines students to geographic boundaries that are racial and or economic in nature. More now then after vouchers. The real reason for keeping the present system of education is patronage. How will a nation with free market education system affect the paycheck and position of power for me and my allies. Those against are simply the present educational system and their political allies. Who benefits most by the present system and who are their allies? Teachers Unions and Democrats. In fact, the worse the problem is the more money they get! For this reason, a voucher system is probably cheaper than the present system. The right answer is in always better, in all ways.
