“The fourth week of January is National School Choice Week . . . Why school choice? Economist Milton Friedman best stated the philosophy behind it: ‘You can subsidize the producer or you can subsidize the consumer. In education, we subsidize the producer; we subsidize the school. If you subsidize the student instead, you would have competition. The student could choose which school he would go to, and that would force the schools to improve and to meet the tastes of their students.'”(more)
