Re: "The ... successful school-choice experiment targeted to needy children in Cleveland receives only about one-third the per-student funding of the Cleveland public schools, yet has produced significant gains in student achievement."

Per-pupil statistics can be deceptive. My wife has taught special ed for 28-plus years. Catholic schools don't teach special ed kids in Cleveland. The Catholic schools send all their special ed students to the public school system. In some cases, the teacher-student ratio in special ed classes is as low as 1 to 4.

That's one of the reasons it costs more to educate a kid in public school than in Catholic school.

But then again, your article doesn't mention that fact. Balanced reporting is something you don't believe in.
