| Lots of good debate on the topic so far, but in my opinion, I believe M5 is basing how "things are all over" based on her local situation, and experience. I know having lived in this part of Ohio my whole life, knowing people in private and public schools, there is quite a difference in curriculum here.
AS far as the dire effects of privatization, yes, it has some downfalls, but they could easily be corrected by the State or city government, and it would be much more ACCESSIBLE for change at a local level as opposed to a FEDERAL level. Communities, city, parishes, counties, could easily design their own privatized system, to accomodate the locals NEEDS, and if the town or city passed decided it needed funding other than that, they could propose a tax bill on those with children, in the local COMMUNITY, those without kids would be excluded, since they have no reason to pay for other peoples kids unless THEY FELT CHARITABLE.
This is all about being fair to everyone, not just the poor.
