There has been an ironic combination of education articles in the paper recently.
On the one hand you've got legislators talking about increasing education funding with caveats that it's spent where they want (teacher salaries, new instructional software) while the education office wants the money to come unrestricted so they can spend it how they want.
But at the same time we see articles about how difficult those same educators make it for parents who want to send their children to a different school.Schools want to control how to spend money, and then want to control where children go to school, all for the convenience of the system.
How about we have true school choice?Let's give schools the freedom to choose how to use their own money, and then let parents choose the school that spends its money to build the best program for their child.
