Is a good education being rationed?
This is an article describing how politics and unions stand in the way of an improved and competitive education system...
John Fund writes in the Wall Street Opinion Journal:
"Milwaukee's innovative school choice program has become a beacon of hope for reformers everywhere. But the educational establishment has never accepted its success and is now striking back. A cap on the number of students that can attend the city's private choice schools has been reached, and starting Feb. 1, education officials will implement a rationing plan to allocate the program's available seats. That could disrupt up to 4,000 families and create such chaos among the participating schools that several could be threatened with closure."
