When you add that a priori economic reasoning is firmly on the side of school choice over public monopoly - well I'm convinced. I'm a little surprised popular wisdom isn't on my side.
- grandalf 18y agoGood point. Popular wisdom is biased by the fact that most people went to public school and tend to think things like "well I went to public school and I turned out just fine". That's like saying "well wikipedia didn't exist when I was a kid and I turned out just fine" to argue that Wikipedia should be banned -- after all voucher proponents don't want vouchers to be mandatory, just optional!
