Mish, all you have to do is look at the private schools and charter schools and home schoolers to see long term examples of excellence in education. For the most part, all of these alternative schools are less costly and much more effective than the public schools in their area. Look at the ACT and SAT results from these schools compared to the the averages.

Now, in all fairness, the most important factor in a child's educational progress is parental concern and involvement. The parents who send their kids to alternative schools are very concerned and involved. But the success of charter schools working with under-privilaged children is exceptional.

Blessings,

P.S. My town, Tulsa, experimented with privatizing the jail but gave it up because the Sheriff bid the job much lower and had done a much better job with fewer problems. So, public service works when you have smart, dedicated, public servants. Unfortunately they are in short supply.
