Oh , my attitude matters ? Well gee thanks for that advice , Dad ! You are welcome , kiddo . I think the Swedish example you site is probabaly more complicated than your summary suggests . You are trying to come up with more excuses . I ' d like to know how Sweden avoided the rampant abuse our Charter School system has allowedI don ' t know what our charter school system means exactly , who are we in this context ? Which system is this , exactly ? US has several different systems . in that it is just another money grab , a way for corporations to swallow up more government money . Sigh Not this again . Would you say the same thing about guitar shops if the government had a monopoly on making guitars , and people argued that maybe guitars should be manufactured by private corporations ? Come on , drop the pretendmarxism . We know private corporations on a free market generate more value per money than state monopolies do . This is an uncontroversial fact . Don ' t pretend you don ' t know it . Sweden also , I would imagine has unified educational standardsYup . I though No Child Left Behind was all about that ? I know that all children are taught to play an instrument in Swedish schools , or at least they used to . Nope . Do athletics overwhelm schools in Sweden , they way they do here so that everything is sacrificed for sport ' s teams ? I doubt it . Isn ' t that only for high school and college ? If your schools in Sweden proved a consistent improvement with vouchers , our charter schools have not shown those same results consistently . Well , you haven ' t implemented it in a consistent way . A voucher system needs to be on a free market , ie all schools that fulfill educational standards should be able to be a part of the voucher system , including the public schools .
