That works too.
If no fed dollars are used...no fed oversight.
Essentially the system needs to be made more efficient, so, we're on the same page. Cirriculum is a whole nother matter, though.

You mean you did pay your best employees more and you did fire people for misconduct?Yes I did. Many times.

"He is not a Libertarian however".
Does the capital L in Libertarian have any significance? I am not familiar with the Libertarian Party". My point was that Stossel is a fine journalist and I would believe him over most of the members of the MSM on just about any issue such as Public Education.

Good 4U....you can't run a business while worrying about sleazy lawyers and their cheap phony lawsuits.

A little off topic here, but I'm starting to think one of the big reasons public schools are failing is because teachers and principals are afraid of being sued for establishing discipline in school. Any kind of disciplinary action now leaves them open to lawsuits and accusations of racism, "homophobia", etc. by ethically-limited parents and their lawyers. We need school choice and then legal protection for teachers, similar to the legal reforms protecting doctors from lawsuits.

Thank you. "Right to work laws" should be the law of the land.

Does the capital L in Libertarian have any significance?Yes. A large L denotes membership in a politcal party. Just like Democrat vs democrat or Republican vs republican.
