Shocking Discoveries!

Shock Warning logo

(Guest post by Greg Forster)

The Detroit Free Press should come with a warning label. In today’s edition I was jolted by the shocking discovery that suburban public schools compete with each other for students. Apparently when parents are able to choose schools, the schools are aware of this and respond by seeking to get their business. All because – are you ready for this? – public schools want to maximize their budgets!

Who knew?

Kudos to the Free Press for uncovering this amazing story!

HT ALELR for the story, dose.ca and Overload for the logo.
