    Good points. We just don't have that vacuum to test as gov's differ. Market forces improve conditions. Motivations are realigned to the incentive of the parent's satisfaction with …

    Motivated Parents is everything. Focus your programs on that instead? "Second, let's see what happens if we fund private and public schools equivalently." Detroit get's $14k per st…
