SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

The people speak

Greetings from Naples, Fl where a story in the local paper promises to shed light on what people think about school choice once they have had a chance to check it out. In Lee County, FL, parents have been able to choose their children’s schools for some time, and now the local school board is planning to survey local parents to see what they think about this. I’m pretty sure that approval ratings will be much higher here - compared to areas where voters are expressing their theoretical opinions, but we’ll have to wait until April to get the verdict.

No doubt the local teachers’ unions will be happy to go along with the verdict, whatever it is, since they apparently justify their policies on the basis of polling….
