Public Education Needs More Choice and Competition
Richard D. Lamm chairs a National Governors Association task force arguing public schools should expand parental choice to boost excellence. The aim is to unleash competition, tailor reforms to states, and use choice to improve access, equity, and outcomes while guarding quality.
Why not let parents choose their children's schools
Phyllis Schlafly argues for school choice in public education, comparing it to consumer freedom in health care and groceries. She cites the National Governors Association and Colorado Governor Lamm, contending competition would improve public schools, while opponents fear minority discrimination and call for more parental involvement.
