John Stossel on Escaping Government Schools

I enjoyed John Stossel's recent column - Escaping 'Government' Schools. 

He starts the column with:

-----------
People say public schools are "one of the best parts of America". I believed that. Then I started reporting on them.

Now I know that public school -- government school is a better name -- is one of the worst parts of America. It's a stultified government monopoly. It never improves.

Most services improve. They get faster, better, cheaper. But not government monopolies. Government schools are rigid, boring, expensive and more segregated than private schools.
-----------

John Stossel even mentions homeschooling.

It is a good column.
