Michael,

I mentioned Sean's and my criticism of the foundations of David's approach/analysis. Joanna offers yet another criticism above.

In fact, the "better education" is narrower than "text book knowledge". A CEP study shows that public vs private school students (here I use private schools as a proxy for "choice" based schooling) do no different in tests in Reading, Math and Science. The private schoolers do have an advantage. Want to guess where? In SAT scores. Do I need to explain more?
