[Pen-l] RE: charter schools

 "My abhorrence rests on the progressive mindset/principal that would deny little Johnny the benefit of the alternative even if were a stipulated fact that the alternative school would be better for little Johnny.  The fundamental issue is whether a good society tells llittle Johnny's parents that because it is in the best interest of other children, little Johnny should get a worse education than he otherwise could have."

Yes, you're right: that is the fundamental issue. So the question is, what about the other children? What rights do they have?

The other question is why make education a scarce commodity? There's no need for it to be scarce.
