Thoughts on School Choice
// 6.7.09 // Filed under: Freedom & Politics, Homeschooling, Link Love
It’s been awhile since I engaged in a good “debate” on homeschooling. After commenting on A Dad First’s response to an anti-homeschool article, I started clicking around the web and came across some gems.
Here is school reform advocate John Taylor Gatto:
“If you gave children and families (schooling) options … inside of a decade the institutional schools would vanish because they don’t teach the way children learn nor can they teach the way children learn. That’s not what they’re set up to do … They’re set up to sort people into occupational categories…”
Hat tip to Muse with Indy Jane.

I needed to see this…after a long night of seriously thinking about school for the kiddos. (long story which I ramble on about today on my blog)
Thank you – this gives me the encouragement I need.

Do you think allowing children to attend school of their choice will work in other areas? Will it cause other problems or is it a potential solution that other should follow? Explain your reasoning.
To “Aluminum Fencing” (really?) — Capitalism works. If schools were allowed to exist in a free market, independent of government, I believe the quality of education would increase.

The quality of education would increase for those who can afford it. Kind of like Public v Private.
