Re: Vouchers
One curious point to me about the education debate is that we have two broad
educational systems in the US: K-12 schools and our system of colleges and
universities.
The former is a global disaster, ranking below most third world countries.
Even our best 10% do very poorly in international comparisons.
The latter is a global model. People come from all over the world to
partcipate in it. It takes American kids and pulls them from ~last place in
international comparisons to something closer to first place.
The college system is simply ignored in discussions of educational reform.
Isn't that odd? What qualities does it have that could make K-12 work, and
do alternatives like vouchers obtain those benefits?
