The data on test scores shows a clear gap. It isn’t a fluke. It’s the predictable result of incentives. If a public school fails, it gets more funding. If a private school fails, it closes. Choice introduces the only force that has ever reliably improved quality: competition. When parents can take their money elsewhere, schools have to compete for the right to educate. We should stop funding institutions and start funding students. Good things happen when you let people choose.
