I don't know why the ideas of market-provided educational services are considered so radical and receive so little consideration by smart people. I find the arguments for school choice and loosening the grip of the education monopoly very compelling. And the example of programs like the DC Opportunity Scholarship Fund are very powerful (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7FS5B-CynM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7FS5B-CynM). But these ideas have very little uptake. There seems to be no political will to do anything but what we have been doing all along, except try harder.
