The Bluegrass Institute presents:
ABC News "20/20" co-host
He will discuss:
Stupid Schools—How The Government Monopoly
Cheats Kids.
|
 |
“Stupid Schools" is a disparaging
title for a program about public education, but some disparaging
things are going on in Kentucky’s public schools. It's about
time parents understood it.
"When monopolies rule, there is little choice,
and little gets done. In America the phone company was once a
government-supported monopoly. All the phones were black, and
all the calls expensive. With competition, things have changed —
for the better. We pay less for phone calls. If we're unhappy
with our phone service, we switch companies."
"Why can't kids benefit from similar competition in education?"
