Efficient Education
As you might guess, the government monopoly over schooling has not produced an efficient system. For those interested in looking, there is no end to the littany of research, studies, commentary and anectdotes about the waste in that system. While other options do exist, the diversity and amount suffer because of the huge sink of money and effort going into the federal system. Some of the more efficient (and better performing options include):
- Private Schools
- Military Schools
- Home Schools
- Coops
- “Un-schooling”
Our current system has been called “America’s grand experiment in socialism” by some, and by most it would have been given a failing grade for nearly the past 20-30 years. So, why are we so committed to this state of failure? There’s plenty of research indicating that we should at least experiment with an alternative mode (not to mention some good, albeit less well-grounded ideas). If breaking the mind free enough to even permit experimentation sounds like a good idea, you might be interested in Ron Paul’s position on education.
