Competition means better education
Market forces will deliver a better product than a government monopoly. We need to take the control of the education of our kids away from the government, and place it in our own hands. This will create a marketplace where we as consumers of the product (our kids education) choose where we are going to spend our education dollars. The poorly managed school systems will fail and the well managed systems, which provide a superior product, at a better price will thrive. A couple of articles discussing privatization here and here.
