When parents don't have an opportunity to choose another school for their children, they give up. When districts lose children, they are going to respond. With competition, everyone benefits. Any school or school district that does not satisfy the educational consumer is a failing district. And that consumer is the parent.
Education needs to be deregulated.
We need to have more charter schools. There's market demand for more charter schools. You need to empower parents. We need a free marketplace of education. DJ Mitchell, of Pontiac.
