Do you not realize that the beauty of private schools is that different ones will be founded for different needs?

No, I must not, apparently. What happens if there's a special needs kid, but a specialized school doesn't exist in the area? Send him across the country to go to school when he could have just as easily gone to the public school at the end of the block and had them hire a para for the duration of his school time?
Make the whole family move? Force a nearby private school to accommodate ONE (that's bad business practice, BTW)? Schools for retards won't crop up everywhere there's a retard, you know, and it's unfair to the families to penalize them for having retards by making them send their kids away.

Actually, some countries exclude their underachievers from taking the tests that determine such data. Also, our schools have switched from focusing on the intellectuals and moved into "No Child Left Behind."

Nice dodge. I wasn't talking about the standards testing in Buttfuckistan, I was talking about how most Americans are stupid.

do reject the idea that business is more efficient (i.o.w. more bang for the buck) than government?
|
Nope. Business is more efficient than governments, but nobody said government had to be 100% efficient. See, I think that there are somethings that are better left to government to control. That way, the greater good prevails, rather than the private interests of a few rich guys and their bank statements. Unity of Man and all that stuff, you know.
