I'm Not a Big School-Voucher Fan, But...

...Julian at Sully's blog has some interesting thoughts on school choice. Essentially, he is arguing that the whole reason for school choice is to let the standards be set by supply and demand; and that by their nature, private schools are supposed to offer diverse experiences (i.e. one school will give a different education than another). That's the point, that the successful school models will be revealed through competition. Therefore, arguments against private school vouchers - or otherwise against private schools being better than public schools - that rely on the idea that the private schools are not held to uniform standards miss the point.

That is all.
