Identified Problems, Wrong Solution

The Washington Times, in an op-ed written by Deborah Simmons, once again reminds us of the failure of public education, with an emphasis on D.C. public schools.  The standard litany of failures are displayed within the op-ed, poor student academic scores, ineffective budget management, nothing new.  The solution presented, as usual also, is to put control of the schools, and authority, in the mayor’s hands and, magically, things will become, gradually, otay.

The real solution is to put control of the schools back into individuals hands.  The parents of the children who attend.  Government does not belong in the schools.  Parents do.
