Minnesota’s public schools are awful: only 36% of the state’s 11th graders can do math at grade level, to cite just one appalling statistic. Even worse is that the schools are not safe. Violence is rife, teachers are routinely insulted and ignored by students, and chaos reigns. I take it that this is at least partly the result of discipline quotas imposed by Minnesota’s state government, in imitation of one of the Obama administration’s worst initiatives. …
Minnesota’s schools may be particularly bad, and they will stay bad as long as they are run by a far-left teachers’ union. But don’t assume that your state’s are much better.
Around the country, legislatures, driven by parents’ desire for better and safer education, are broadening opportunities for school choice, freeing kids from the public schools.
