Who knows what ' s best for your kids you or a government employee ? Probably the person with a doctorate in Education I ' d say . Which isn ' t me . Believing yourself to know more about education than someone who has dedicated their lives to understanding the way people learn is both arrogant and stupid . We need free market competition , where the consumers the parents of the students decide who is doing a good job and who isn ' tThat ' s how you get schools like devry and university of phoenix . Schools primarily selling the feeling of being educated without actually educating anyone . Add to that the fact that there really isn ' t any evidence private schools are better than public schools and you have me asking the question why we ' d go through the effort of opening an additional 50 , 000 schools at the absolute MINIMUM , more than double the current number of private schools just to get similar results to the ones we ' re getting now ?
