Why Aren’t Public Schools More Like Universities?

Posted by Moonage on 06 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: Entitlement Programs

Richard Vedder asks "Why Aren’t Public Schools More Like Universities?".  He gives a couple of compelling reasons why they could and should.  I was ready with the easy retort of "Because we can’t afford $10k a year for 20 years."  But, Vedder does address that.  And, he puts in some limitations to keep that from happening on the K-12 level.  All in all, excellent summary of a major problem facing the US today.  The summary comes from his book Going Broke By Degree. If the book reads as well as the summary does, it’s worth getting.
