Either the schools will continue to decline in quality until they become a de facto adjunct of the welfare system where children of the poor will be warehoused for twelve years, then dumped into society, ill-prepared, a more or less permanent underclass.
Or taxpayers will finally get fed up with an expensive system turning out an inferior product and demand that the public schools be opened to free-market competition, perhaps by a voucher system which would give poor parents the same freedom of choice of schools as the more affluent. Such a system might have its disadvantages, but you may be sure it would get the attention of the public-school bureaucracy. Why are GM cars getting better? Not because of increased government subsidies or higher salaries. Because of Toyota.- Walker Percy
