If you care about tolerance and volunteerism, that is.

I’m beginning to think that the much lower cost of charters and private schools is what may drive the education debate to the next level. For states with sufficiently serious and intractable budget problems charters and vouchers could provide some real relief.

The need to bring state budgets under control might add another “constituency” in favor of educational alternatives to the several already coalescing in support of alternatives.

They would be worse if the population who most feel the partisan tone of public education hadn’t already had large numbers who have exited to home or private school and thus weren’t surveyed.
