I think I mentioned the ability to take the chits and run somewhere else in the thread.  Private schools would thrive while the failed public institutions would see competition.

Competition is good.

The priority in the public schools is to keep the foul mouthed little jerk whose parents don't give a rats a$$ about said little jerk - all in the name of state school aid funds.  While good students fall behind the teacher has to deal with said little jerk every damn day instead of removing said little jerk because of namby pamby administrators wishing to "save" said little jerk because the parents will sue to keep their full time babysitter.

I wonder if Rep. Bledsoe thinks a child suffers a "death blow," or perhaps something less severe, when he or she is assigned to a failing school, and the people who run the better public school down the street stand in the schoolhouse door to keep that child out."
